Renew Air Cleaner Element - Ford LRG 425 Operator's Handbook Manual

1. Allow the engine to cool down to 40°C (110°F).
2. Turn the radiator expansion/degas tank filler cap through 90° in a counter-
clockwise direction. Pause to allow any pressure to drop, then turn cap fully
counterclockwise and remove it.
3. The quantity of coolant in the expansion/degas tank is a direct indication of the
coolant level in the complete system. The acceptable level of coolant in the
expansion/degas tank is shown by the level indicators moulded into the tank
wall. Top up as necessary with a mixture of plain water and antifreeze -- Refer
to "Cooling System" on page 33 for information on mixing antifreeze solutions.
NOTE: It is essential that only the correct type of antifreeze is used -- Refer to
"Cooling System" on page 33.
4. Replace the filter cap and turn down tightly.

Renew Air Cleaner Element

Your air cleaner filters air entering the engine induction system and acts as a
silencer and a flame arrester. Air that contains dirt and grit produces an abrasive
fuel mixture, and can cause severe damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings.
Damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings will cause high oil consumption and
short engine life. A restricted or dirty air cleaner will also cause a rich fuel mixture.
Thus, it is extremely important that the air cleaner be serviced at recommended
intervals.
CAUTION: Service the air cleaner more frequently under severe dust condi-
tions to prevent engine damage.
1. Release the air cleaner lid retaining hardware.
2. Lift the air cleaner lid clear of the air cleaner body, then remove the air cleaner
element and discard it.
3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner body and lid clean, using a lint-free rag.
4. Insert the new element, ensuring that it fits properly and install air cleaner lid.
