Engine Maintenance; Servicing The Air Cleaner - Toro 74142TE Operator's Manual

9. If the axle assembly has had both spacer nuts removed
(or broken loose), apply a thread locking adhesive to 1
spacer nut and thread it onto the axle with the wrench
flats facing outward. Do not thread the spacer nut all of
the way onto the end of the axle. Leave approximately
3 mm (1/8 inch) from the outer surface of the spacer
nut to the end of the axle inside the nut.
10. Insert the assembled nut and axle into the wheel on the
side of the wheel with the new seal and bearing.
11. With the open end of the wheel facing up, fill the area
inside the wheel around the axle full of general-purpose
grease.
12. Insert the second bearing and new seal into the wheel.
13. Apply a thread locking adhesive to the second spacer
nut and thread it onto the axle with the wrench flats
facing outward.
14. Torque the nut to 8-9 N-m (75-80 in-lb), loosen, then
re-torque to 2-3 N-m (20-25 in-lb). Make sure that the
axle does not extend beyond either nut.
15. Install the seal guards over the wheel hub and insert
the wheel into the caster fork. Install the caster bolt
and tighten the nut fully.
Important: To prevent seal and bearing damage,
check the bearing adjustment often. Spin the
caster tire. The tire should not spin freely (more
than 1 or 2 revolutions) or have any side play. If the
wheel spins freely, adjust the torque on the spacer
nut until there is a slight amount of drag. Apply
thread locking adhesive.
16. Raise the front of the machine up and remove the jack
stands.

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Every 250 hours—Replace the primary air
filter.
Every 250 hours—Check the secondary air filter.
Every 500 hours—Replace the secondary air filter.
Note: Service the air cleaner more frequently 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. Push down to release the retaining clamps on the air
cleaner and pull the air cleaner cover off of the air
cleaner body (Figure
4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with
compressed air.
5. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air cleaner
body (Figure 41). Avoid knocking the filter into the
side of the body.
6. Remove the secondary filter only if you intend to
replace it.
Important: Never attempt to clean the secondary
filter. If the secondary 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.
