Pre-Cleaner Service
To prevent damage to air filter cartridge and reduced
engine performance, do not apply oil to the pre-cleaner.
Carefully remove pre-cleaner from cartridge and wash it
in liquid detergent and water. Rinse. Dry by squeezing
pre-cleaner in a clean cloth. Replace pre-cleaner and air
cleaner cover making sure the entire flange around bot-
tom of cover fits over the top edge of the air cleaner
base. Secure with the spring clips.
Cartridge Service
Unscrew the knob securing the cartridge to the air
cleaner base and remove plate. Remove cartridge and
inspect. Replace if too dirty to clean or at the first sign of
filter paper deterioration. Clean cartridge by gently tap-
ping on a flat surface.
Do not use petroleum solvents, pressurized water, or
compressed air to clean cartridge. Doing so will damage
the cartridge and will damage the engine.
The paper cartridge is a dry unit. Do not use oil on the cartridge.
Install cartridge, plate, knob, and pre-cleaner.
Replace air cleaner cover making sure that the entire
flange around the bottom of the cover fits over the top
edge of the air cleaner base. Secure with the spring clips.
REAR AXLE
The rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check plug
located on the driver side at the rear of the housing (Ref
