Air Cleaner Maintenance
• Check the air cleaner body for damage which
could cause an air leak. Replace if damaged.
Check the whole intake system for leaks,
damage or loose hose clamps.
• Service the air cleaner filter only when the
service indicator requires it or every 400 hours
(more frequently in extremely dusty or dirty
conditions). Changing the air filter before it
is necessary only increases the chance of dirt
entering the engine when the filter is removed.
• Be sure the cover is seated correctly and seals
with the air cleaner body.
Servicing the Air Cleaner
1. Pull the latch outward and rotate the air cleaner
cover counterclockwise (Figure 46).
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 the primary filter (Figure 47). 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. Do not
remove the safety filter (Figure 48).
