Routine Service and Maintenance
4. Check Air Filter
a. Reach underneath the control panel plate to access the top of the engine.
b. Remove the air filter cover (Item 1,
Figure 4–3
) and inspect the outer air filter sleeve
(Item 4,
Figure 4–3
). The outer air filter sleeve will trap only the largest dirt particles.
Remove the air filter sleeve and clean as needed.
c. If the sleeve is dirty, loosen and remove the wing nut (Item 2,
Figure 4–3
) holding the air
filter top plate (Item 3,
Figure 4–3
).
d. Remove and inspect the main air filter (Item 5,
Figure 4–3
). If the air filter is dirty, replace
the filter and outer air filter sleeve with a genuine BOXER repair part.
Figure 4–3 Air Filter Assembly
Extremely dusty or dirty working conditions may require more frequent service/replacement.
5. Check all hydraulic hoses, lines and fittings.
Hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate body tissue causing serious injury and
possible death. When troubleshooting a hydraulic system for leaks, always use cardboard
or wood as a detector. DO NOT USE YOUR BARE HANDS. If you are injected with
hydraulic oil or any other fluids, immediately seek treatment by a doctor trained in the
treatment of penetrating fluid injuries.
• Visually inspect all of the hydraulic hoses, lines and fittings for signs of damage, wear or
leaking.
• If any signs of damage are visible, do not operate the machine until repairs have been made.
• Some examples of common hydraulic hose damage are shown in
Figure 4–4
.
