Servicing the Air Cleaner

Note: Check the filters more frequently if operating
conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
Removing the Air Filter
Service Interval: Every 250 hours (more often in dirty or
dusty conditions).
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull the air
cleaner cover off of the air cleaner body (Figure 32).
4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with
compressed air.
5. Gently slide the filter out of the air cleaner body
(Figure 32). Avoid knocking the filter into the side of
the body.
6. Inspect the 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.
