Engine Maintenance
Servicing the Air Cleaner
Foam Element: Clean and oil after every
25 operating hours.
Paper Element: Clean after every 100 operating
hours. Replace after every 200 operating hours or
yearly, whichever comes first.
Note:
Service the air cleaner more frequently
(every few hours) if operating conditions are
extremely dusty or sandy.
Removing the Foam and Paper
Elements
1. Park the machine on a level surface and
disengage the blade control (PTO).
2. Move the motion control levers to the brake
position, stop the engine, remove the key, and
wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving
the operating position.
3. Clean around the air cleaner to prevent dirt
from getting into the engine and causing
damage. Unlatch the two side latches and
remove the air cleaner cover (Figure 20).
4. Carefully remove the foam element from the
paper element (Figure 20).
5. Unscrew the wing nut and remove the paper
element (Figure 20).
