6. Replacing the air cleaner element

IMPORTANT :
• Shorten the replacement period if the machine
is used in dusty or sandy areas.
• Replace the air cleaner element regularly or
foreign materials will accumulate, which will
shorten the DPF
(3000 hours).
• Use KUBOTA genuine inner and outer element.
• Do not blow air to clean the case inside. It
allows dust come into the inner element.
• Clean up the case inside with clean wet cloth.
After cleaning, wipe it dry with clean dry cloth.

2. Remove the dust-cover.
