Servicing the Air Cleaner

Primary Filter: Check and/or replace after every 200
operating hours or more often in dusty conditions.

Safety Filter: Replace after every 600 operating hours.

Note: Check the filters more frequently if operating
conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.

Removing the Filters

1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking

brake, and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the
key. Remove spark plug wire(s).

2. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull the air

cleaner cover off of the air cleaner body (Fig. 36).

3. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with

compressed air.

4. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air cleaner

body (Fig. 36). Avoid knocking the filter into the side
of the body.

5. Remove the safety filter only if you intend to replace

it.

Important

 

Never attempt to clean the safety filter. If

the safety filter is dirty, then the primary filter is damaged
and you should replace both filters.

6. Inspect the primary filter for damage by looking into

the filter while shining a bright light on the outside of
the filter. Holes in the filter will appear as bright spots.
If the filter is damaged discard it.

Installing the Filters

Important

 

To prevent engine damage, always operate

the engine with both air filters and cover installed.

damage. Do not use a damaged filter.

2. If the safety filter is being replaced, carefully slide it

into the filter body (Fig. 36).

3. Carefully slide the primary filter over the safety filter

(Fig. 36). Ensure that it is fully seated by pushing on
the outer rim of the filter while installing it.

Important

 

Do not press on the soft inside area of the

filter.

4. Install the air cleaner cover with the side indicated as

UP facing up and secure the latches (Fig. 36).
