7.6 ENGINE AIR CLEANER
A. Cleaning and/or Replacing Air Cleaner

For any air cleaner, the operating environment dictates
the air cleaner service periods. Inspect and clean the
air cleaner element after every 100 hours of operation or
bi-weekly, whichever occurs first and replace the
element if required.
-NOTE-
In extremely dusty conditions it may be necessary
to check the element once or twice daily to
prevent engine damage.
1. For the KH model, remove the wing nut securing the
air cleaner cover to the engine. For the KA model,
remove the two clips securing the air cleaner cover
to the engine. Remove the air cleaner cover and set
aside.

cleaner as recommended by the engine
manufacturer.
