nance on a Compact Track Loader until you have read
and fully understood the information in this manual.

structions regarding proper machine operation tech-
niques before operating any Compact Track Loader.

Air Cleaner

Your PT-100 Forestry compact track loader is
equipped with two air filter elements to remove con-
taminants from the air your engine uses for combus-
tion. Regular inspection and replacement of the filter
elements is necessary to ensure proper performance
and to prolong engine life.
To remove and inspect your air cleaner elements:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the hood at the rear of the PT-100 Forestry
to gain access to the engine compartment.
3. Locate the black plastic air cleaner enclosure near
the top left of the engine compartment (when
viewed from the rear).
4. Remove the cover by pulling out on the yellow
slide-lock (A) located near the top of the air clean-
er enclosure. Then rotate the cover counter-clock-
wise approximately 1/8 turn and remove. The pri-
mary element (B) should be exposed.
