Changing the Air Filter
Service Interval:
Every 400 hours Service the air filter
earlier if the service indicator shows
red. Service it more frequently in
extremely dirty or dusty conditions.
Removing the Filter
Service the air-cleaner filter only when the service
indicator displays a red band. Changing the air filter
before it is necessary only increases the chance of
dirt entering the engine when the filter is removed.
Important:
Be sure that the cover is seated
correctly and seals with the air-cleaner body.

clamps.

Before removing the filter, use low-pressure
air—275 kPa (40 psi), clean and dry—to
help remove large accumulations of debris
packed between outside of primary filter and
the housing.
Avoid using high-pressure air,
which could force dirt through the filter into
the intake tract.
This cleaning process prevents debris from
migrating into the intake when the primary filter
is removed.

Do not clean the air filter element.
