Engine Maintenance

Engine Safety

•
Shut off the engine and remove the key before
checking the oil or adding oil to the crankcase.
•
Do not change the governor speed or overspeed
the engine.

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Check the air-cleaner body for damage that could
cause an air leak and replace it if it is damaged. Check
the entire intake system for leaks, damage, or loose
hose clamps. Also, inspect the rubber intake-hose
connections at the air cleaner and turbocharger to
ensure that the connections are complete.
Ensure that the cover is seated correctly and seals
with the air-cleaner body.
Servicing the Air-Cleaner Cover
Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Remove the
air-cleaner cover and clean out the
debris. Do not remove the filter.
Check the air-cleaner body for damage which could
cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner
body.
Clean the air-cleaner cover (Figure 45).
Servicing the Air-Cleaner Filter
Service Interval: Every 200 hours (More frequently in
extreme dusty or dirty conditions)
1. Before removing the filter, use clean and dry,
low-pressure air (275 kPa or 40 psi) to help
remove large accumulations of debris packed
between the outside of the primary filter and the
canister.
Important:
Avoid using high-pressure air
that could force dirt through the filter and
into the intake tract, causing damage. This
cleaning process prevents debris from
migrating into the intake when you remove
the primary filter.
2. Remove the primary filter
Important:
Do not clean the used element to
prevent the possibility of damaging 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.
Important:
Do not attempt to clean the
safety filter. Replace the safety filter after
every 3 primary-filter services
