Engine Maintenance
Servicing the Air Cleaner
Note: Check the filters more frequently if the 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. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull the air
cleaner cover off the air cleaner body (Figure 38).

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 38).
Note: Avoid knocking the filter into the side of the
body.
6. Remove the safety filter only if you intend to replace
it.
Important: Never attempt to clean the safety
filter. If the safety filter is dirty, then the primary
filter is damaged. 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.
