Wait a few minutes to allow air to escape
through the filler neck and refill as needed, then
reinstall the radiator cap.
•
Fill the overflow reservoir to the "FULL" mark.
•
Start the engine and allow it to run for a short
period. Stop the engine.
•
Recheck the coolant level in the overflow
reservoir and refill as needed. Reinstall the

CHANGING THE AIR CLEANER
Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the
engine. Check for loose or damaged components
and check the condition of the filter element.
Remove any buildup of dirt and debris in the air
cleaner housing.
Replace the paper air cleaner element after every
300 hours of operation. More often if operating the
tractor under extremely dusty conditions.
Check and replace the air cleaner element as follows:
•
Unlock the clamps to remove the air cleaner
housing cover. See Figure 55.
Figure 55
•
Pull the air cleaner element from the housing.
See Figure 56.
Figure 56
•
Lightly blow or brush loose debris from the air
cleaner element. Clean any debris from the
housing.
•
Inspect the paper pleats of the cleaner element
for damage and dirt. Inspect the sealing surface
on the inner end of the element for deterioration
or damage. Replace a damaged or dirty air
cleaner element.
•
Push the new air cleaner element fully into the
housing.
•
Position the cover on the housing. Hook the
two clamps onto the rim of the housing and lock
the clamps. Refer to Figure 55.
IMPORTANT: A
clean and properly installed
air cleaner element significantly contributes to
prolonging engine life.
