air cleaner components could allow unfiltered air into
the engine causing premature wear and failure.

extremely dusty, dirty conditions.
Removing the Elements:
1. Park the machine on a level surface and disengage
the blade control switch.
2. Stop the machine and release the traction-control
pedal to place the machine in the neutral position,
engage parking brake, stop the engine, remove the
key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before
leaving the operating position.
3. Clean around the air cleaner cover to prevent dirt
from getting into the engine and causing damage.
4. Lift the cover and rotate the air-cleaner assembly
out of the engine (see Figure 26 and Figure 27).
