NOTE
The air filter element should be cleaned every 50 hours, It should be cleaned and lubricate more often if
the machine is operated in extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter element maintenance is performed,
check the air inlet to the air filter box for obstructions. Check the air filter element rubber joint to the
throttle body and manifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibility of
unfiltered air entering the engine.
