VII. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Engine Air Intake
REMOVAL - The engine air intake filter element should only
be removed if it is going to be replaced. After loosening the air
cleaner clamp and removing the end cap, carefully remove the
filter so as to not knock any dust off the filter and into the air
intake passage (fig. 7.22).
REPLACEMENT - If your detasseler is equipped with a
diesel engine it has a Filter Minder
®
to notify you of filter element
efficiency. Follow its guidelines for servicing. (See below.) At
appropriate service time, install the new element carefully to
ensure proper sealing.
CLEANING - It is not recommended to clean the air filter
element. However, a clean damp cloth should be used to wipe
dust and foreign material from the air cleaner housing before a
new element is installed.
Filter Minder
®
The Filter Minder
®
is an air restriction monitoring system that
progressively and constantly indicates how much air filter
capacity remains. Check its reading daily.
Service the air cleaner when the Filter Minder
®
reads
20” (80% of average dirt holding capacity). Reset the Filter
Minder
®
to zero each time you replace the air filter element.
