Paper Element Service
Every 100 hours of operation (more often under
extremely dusty or dirty conditions), check the paper
element. Replace the element as necessary. Follow
these steps:
1. Standard Air Cleaner:
Loosen the air cleaner cover knob and remove the
cover. Remove the wing nut and lift off the air
cleaner element with precleaner. Remove the
precleaner from the paper element. Service the
precleaner.
Heavy-Duty, Cyclonic Air Cleaner:
Unhook the latches and remove the housing
assembly from the mounting base. Remove the
wing nut (some models) securing air cleaner/
precleaner assembly, or pull the complete filter
assembly out of the housing. Remove the
precleaner from the paper element. Service the
precleaner.
2. Do not wash the paper element or use
pressurized air
, as this will damage the element.
Replace a dirty, bent, or damaged element with a
genuine Kohler element. Handle new elements
carefully; do not use if the sealing surfaces are
bent or damaged.
