Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Every 200 hours
•
Check the body of the air cleaner for damage that could
cause an air leak. Replace any damaged components.
Check the whole intake system for leaks, damage, or loose
hose clamps.
•
Do not change the air filter before it is necessary; doing
so only increases the chance of dirt entering the engine
when you remove the filter.
•
Be sure that the cover is seated correctly and seals with
the body of the air cleaner.

Replacing the Air Filter
Service Interval: Every 200 hours
1. Release the latches securing the air-cleaner cover to the
air-cleaner body
1. Latch
2. Dust cap
2. Remove the cover from the air-cleaner body.
3. Before removing the filter, use low-pressure air (40 psi,
clean and dry) to help remove large accumulations of
debris packed between the outside of the primary filter
and the canister.
Important: 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.
4. Remove and replace the filter.
Note: 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.
Note: Cleaning the used element is not recommended
due to the possibility of damaging the filter media.
5. Clean the dirt-ejection port located in the removable
cover.
6. Remove the rubber outlet valve from the cover, clean
the cavity, and replace the outlet valve.
7. Install the cover, orienting the rubber outlet valve in a
downward position—between approximately 5 o'clock
to 7 o'clock when viewed from the end.
