ENGINE AIR CLEANER

A. CLEANING AND/OR REPLACING AIR
CLEANER ELEMENT
For any air cleaner, the operating environment dictates the
air cleaner service periods. To make it convenient for you
we have installed an "Air Cleaner Indicator" which is located
just behind the air filter. The indicator window will turn red
when it is time to service the air filter. Do not service the
filter unless this indicator is red.
- Note -
In extremely dusty conditions it may be necessary
to check the indicator daily to prevent engine
damage.
1. Snap open the two clips securing the air cleaner
cover to the air cleaner box. Remove the air cleaner
cover, clean the duck bill vent of any dust and set the
cover aside.
2. Remove the air cleaner element and inspect.
3. Clean or replace the element as recommended by
the engine manufacturer.
4. Replace the air filter cover and be sure to snap the
two clips closed.
5. Reset the air cleaner indicator by pushing the button
on the end of the indicator. The indicator window
should return to clear.
