AIR FILTER

WARNING
• Excessive air filter restriction will result in reduced
engine life.
• Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning the air cleaner element. A fire or explosion
could result.
• Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid
engine wear will result from contaminants, such as dust
and dirt being drawn into the engine.
The diesel engine is equipped with a dry type air filter. Never apply
oil to it. Service the air cleaner per instructions on page D-3.
Replace air filter element as needed per the service indicator. If no
indicator is present, clean as needed and replace every 1000
hours of operation. Under dusty conditions, replace sooner.
