Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine,

GENERAL AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE
1.
Check the air cleaner body for damage which could possibly
cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner body.
2.
Service the air cleaner filters whenever the air cleaner indicator
(Fig. 31) shows red or every 400 hours (more frequently in
extreme dusty or dirty conditions). Do not overservice the air
filter.
2.
Be sure the cover is sealing around the air cleaner body.
SERVICING THE AIR CLEANER
1.
Release the latches securing the air cleaner cover to the air
cleaner body. Separate the cover from the body. Clean inside
of the air cleaner cover.
2.
Gently slide the primary filter (Fig. 33) out of the air cleaner
body to reduce the amount of dust dislodged. Avoid knocking
the filter against the air cleaner body. Do not remove the safety
filter.
3.
Inspect the primary filter and discard it if damaged. Do not
wash or reuse a damaged filter.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clean a safety filter. Replace
the safety filter with a new one after every three primary filter
services.
Washing Method
A. Prepare a solution of filter cleaner and water and soak the
filter element about 15 minutes. Refer to directions on the
filter cleaner carton for complete information.
B. After soaking the filter for 15 minutes, rinse it with clear
water. Maximum water pressure must not exceed 40 psi to
prevent damage to the filter element. Rinse the filter from
clean side to dirty to side.
