Engine Maintenance

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Note: Check the filters more frequently (every few
hours) if operating conditions are extremely dusty or
sandy.
Removing the Filters
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. Clean around the air cleaner to prevent dirt from
getting into the engine and causing damage. Release
the latches on the air cleaner and pull the air cleaner
cover off of the air cleaner body (Figure 26).
4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with
compressed air (Figure 26).
5. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air cleaner
body (Figure 26). Avoid knocking the filter into the
side of the body.
6. Remove the safety filter only if you intend to replace
it. 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.
7. 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.
