Operation and Maintenance Manual
Servicing the air cleaners
1. Remove filter element.
2. Inspect air cleaner housing for any condition that
might cause a leak and correct as necessary.
3. Wipe inside of air cleaner housing with a clean,
damp cloth to remove any dirt accumulation. This
will permit better seal for gasket on filter element.
4. Install element.
The air cleaner assembly (housing) should be
inspected every three months or 250 hours for any
leakage paths.
Tires
Check the condition of the tires, and gauge the air
pressure. Tires that have cuts or cracks or little tread
should be repaired or replaced.
Tower Cables
Each day the tower lifting cables [Figure 7] should be
inspected to ensure the ends are attached securely.
The cables should be checked for fraying or other
damage and replaced if damaged. Also the pulleys
should be checked for unusual wear or damage and
replaced if worn excessively or damaged.
Tower Latches and Locking Pins
All tower latches and locking pins should be checked
daily. Replace any missing or damaged parts before
lifting the unit or raising the tower.
Tower Guides
Inspect all of the tower guides for proper operation
every month. Clean sliding surfaces. Replace any
missing or damaged parts before raising the tower.

IMPORTANT
Make sure the air cleaner mounting bolts and
clamps are tight and the air cleaner is mounted
securely. Check the air cleaner housing for dents
or damage to the cleaner, which could lead to a
leak.
Make sure the inlet is free from obstruction
