Note: Bearing life can be negatively affected by improper
wash down procedures. Do not wash down the unit when it
is still hot and avoid directing high-pressure or high volume
spray at the bearings or seals.

Engine Maintenance
Servicing the Air Cleaner
Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Check the air cleaner body for damage which could cause an
air leak. Replace if damaged. Check the whole intake system
for leaks, damage or loose hose clamps.
Service the air cleaner filter only when the service indicator
(Figure
26) requires it. Changing the air filter before it is
necessary only increases the chance of dirt entering the engine
when the filter is removed.
Important: Be sure the cover is seated correctly and
seals with the air cleaner body.
1. Pull the latch outward and rotate the air cleaner cover
counter-clockwise
