General Air Cleaner
Maintenance
• Check air cleaner body for damage which could
possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air
cleaner body.
• Service the air cleaner filter every 200 hours (more
frequently in extreme dusty or dirty conditions). Do not
over service air filter.
• Be sure cover is sealing around air cleaner body.

Servicing Air Cleaner

1. Release latches securing air cleaner cover to air cleaner
body.
2. Remove the cover from the air cleaner body. Before
removing the filter, use low pressure air (40 psi, clean
and dry) to help remove large accumulations of debris
packed between outside of primary filter and the
canister. Avoid using high pressure air which could
force dirt through the filter into the intake tract. This
cleaning process prevents debris from migrating into
the intake when the primary filter is removed.

3. Remove and replace the primary filter. Cleaning of the
used element is not recommended due to the possibility
of damage to the filter media. Inspect the new filter for
shipping damage, checking the sealing end of the filter
and the body. Do not use a damaged element. Insert the
new filter by applying pressure to the outer rim of the
element to seat it in the canister. Do not apply pressure
to the flexible center of the filter.
4. Clean the dirt ejection port located in the removable
cover. Remove the rubber outlet valve from the cover,
clean the cavity and replace the outlet valve.
