Servicing the Air Cleaner

Foam Element: Clean after every 25 operating hours.
Paper Element: Clean after every 100 operating hours.
Replace after every 200 operating hours or
yearly, which ever occurs first.
Note: Service the air cleaner more frequently (every few
hours) if operating conditions are extremely dusty or
sandy.
Removing the Foam and Paper Elements
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the parking
brake, and turn the ignition key to off. Remove the
key.
2. Clean around the air cleaner to prevent dirt from
getting into the engine and causing damage. Unscrew
the knob and remove the air cleaner cover (Fig. 35).
