Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
General Air Cleaner
Maintenance
• Check air cleaner body for damage which could
possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air
cleaner body. Check the whole intake system for leaks,
damage or loose hose clamps.
• Service the air cleaner filter when air cleaner indicator
(Fig. 34) shows red or every 400 hours (more frequently
in extreme dusty or dirty conditions). Do not over
service air filter.

• Be sure the cover is seated correctly and seals with the
air cleaner body.
Servicing the Air Cleaner
1. Pull latch outward and rotate air cleaner cover
counter–clockwise (Fig. 35).
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 (Fig. 36).
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.
5. Install the cover orienting the rubber outlet valve in a
downward position – between approximately 5:00 to
7:00 when viewed from the end (Fig. 35).

Cleaning the Radiator and the
Screen
To prevent the engine from overheating, the screen and
radiator must be kept clean. Normally, check the screen and
radiator daily and, if necessary, clean any debris off these
parts. However, it will be necessary to check and clean the
screen and radiator frequently in extremely dusty and dirty
conditions.
Note: If engine shuts off due to overheating, first check the
radiator and screen for excessive buildup of debris.
