AIR FILTER
The engine air filter housing has a dust cap and a
dry cartridge-type air filter element. Empty the
dust cap daily. The air filter must be replaced
whenever the filter element is damaged or after
every 400 hours of operation. The air filters
cannot be cleaned.
The machine is also equipped with a heavy duty
air filter safety element. It is inside the standard
element. Replace this element after the primary
filter has been damaged or changed three times.
Do not remove the air filter element from the
housing unless it is restricting air flow.
TO REPLACE AIR FILTER
1. Stop the engine and set the machine parking
brake.
FOR SAFETY: Before leaving or
servicing machine; stop on level
surface, set parking brake, turn off
machine and remove key.
2. Open the side door and engine cover.
3. Unlatch and gently remove the air cleaner
dust cap. Empty the dust cap of any debris.
4. Gently pull the filter off the outlet tube and
out of the housing. Avoid knocking the filter
against the housing to reduce the amount of
dust knocked off the filter.
