AIR CLEANER:

Your air cleaner may
have only the paper element, or it may
have the cartridge and a foam preclean-
er. If it has the precleaner, service the
element every 50 hours and the pre-
cleaner every 25 hours. If the air cleaner doesn't have
the precleaner, service the element every 25 hours.
Under dusty conditions, service more often. Check
the air cleaner every day or before starting the engine
for any buildup of dirt, debris, or loose or damaged
components.
CAUTION
DO NOT OIL THE ELEMENT OR USE PRESSURIZED
AIR TO CLEAN THE ELEMENT. DO NOT WASH THE
ELEMENT.
Remove the air cleaner cover:
1. Remove the cover nut, cover, element cover nut
and element cover, Figure D.2.
2. Carefully remove the foam precleaner, if equipped,
from the element.
To service the precleaner:
1. Wash in liquid detergent and water.
2. Squeeze dry in a clean cloth.
3. Saturate in clean engine oil.
4. Squeeze in a clean, absorbent cloth to remove all
excess oil.
To service the element:
1. Tap gently on a clean surface.
2. Inspect all air cleaner components, including cover
and base components, for wear or damage. Check
that all sealing surfaces are in good condition.
3. Replace with a new element if the old one is very
dirty, bent, or otherwise damaged.
Carefully place the precleaner back over the element
and reinstall and secure the air cleaner cover compo-
nents.
