Engine Maintenance

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Every 400 hours
Check the air-cleaner body for damage which could
cause an air leak. Replace it if it is damaged. Check
the whole intake system for leaks, damage, or loose
hose clamps.
Service the air-cleaner filter only when the service
indicator (Figure 72) requires it. Changing the air filter
before it is necessary only increases the chance of
dirt entering the engine when the filter is removed.

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.

outer rim of the element to seat it in the canister.
