Servicing the Air Cleaner
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the air-filter-service indicator.
Every 25 hours—Remove the air-cleaner cover,
clean out debris, and check the air-filter-service
indicator.
Servicing the Air-Cleaner Cover
and Body
Important:
Replace the air-cleaner filter only
when the service indicator shows red ( Figure 41 ).
Changing the air filter before it is necessary only
increases the chance of dirt entering the engine
when you remove the filter.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, engage
the parking brake (if equipped), and lower the
loader arms.
2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
3. Open the hood and secure the prop rod (if
applicable).
4. Check the air-cleaner body for damage that
could cause an air leak. Check the whole intake
system for leaks, damage, or loose hose clamps.
Replace or repair any damaged components.
5. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull
the air-cleaner cover off the air-cleaner body
(
Figure 41 ).
Important:
Do not remove the air filter.

Replacing the Filter
Important:
To prevent engine damage, always
operate the engine with the air filter and cover
installed.
1. Gently slide the filter out of the air-cleaner body
(
Figure 41 ).
Note:
Avoid knocking the filter into the side of
the body.
Important:

2. Inspect the new filter for tears, an oily film, or
damage to the rubber seal. Look into the filter
while shining a bright light on the outside of the
filter; holes in the filter appear as bright spots.
If the filter is damaged, do not use it.
3. Carefully install the filter ( Figure 41 ).
Note:
Ensure that the filter is fully seated
by pushing on the outer rim of the filter while
installing it.
