Air Cleaner Maintenance
•
Check the air cleaner body for damage which could cause
an air leak. Replace if damaged. Check the whole intake
system for leaks, damage or loose hose clamps.
•
Service the air cleaner filter only when the service
indicator requires it or every 400 hours (more frequently
in extremely dusty or dirty conditions). Changing the air
filter before it is necessary only increases the chance of
dirt entering the engine when the filter is removed.
•
Be sure the cover is seated correctly and seals with the
air cleaner body.
Servicing the Air Cleaner
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
Every 50 hours
Every 400 hours
1.
Pull the latch outward and rotate the air cleaner cover
counterclockwise (
).
2.
Remove the cover from the air cleaner body. Before
removing the filter, use low pressure air (40 psi, clean
and dry) to help remove large accumulations of debris
packed between outside of primary filter and the
canister. Avoid using high pressure air which could
force dirt through the filter into the intake area. This
cleaning process prevents debris from migrating into
the intake when the primary filter is removed.

used element is not recommended due to the possibility
of damage to the filter media. Inspect the new filter for
shipping damage, checking the sealing end of the filter
and the body. Do not use a damaged element.
Do not
remove the safety filter (
).
