4.8 Servicing Air Cleaner—Machines with Wacker Engines
See Graphic: wc_gr000656
NEVER use gasoline or other types of low flash point solvents for
cleaning the air cleaner. A fire or explosion could result.
CAUTION: NEVER run engine without air cleaner. Severe engine
damage will occur.
The engine is equipped with a dual element air cleaner. Under normal
operating conditions, elements should be cleaned once every week.
Under severe, dry and dusty conditions, the elements should be
maintained daily. Replace an element when saturated with dirt that
cannot be removed.
4.8.1 Remove the air cleaner cover (a). Remove the filter assembly by
pulling it straight up. Inspect both elements for holes or tears. Replace
damaged elements.
4.8.2 Wash the foam element (b) in a solution of mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse it thoroughly in clean water. Allow the element to dry
thoroughly.
4.8.3 Tap the paper element (c) lightly to remove excess dirt or blow
compressed air through the filter from the inside out. Replace the
paper element if it appears heavily soiled.
