enclosure. Install the new element in the same way the
old filter was removed, being sure that the filter seal is
correctly installed. Insert cover into the lower portion of
the enclosure and swing it up into place. Squeeze hous-
ing together and secure with top clips. Be sure cover fits
under tabs and all clips are fastened securely.

Cleaning the Air Filter Element

Do not use compressed air to clean the
air filter; doing so will damage the filter
which may result in damage to the engine.
If the element is in acceptable condition, loose dirt may
be removed by tapping the filter lightly. Do not use oil on
the filter element or any part of the unit.

LUBRICATION

Do not use more than three (3) pumps
of grease in any grease fitting at any
one time. Excess grease may cause grease seals to fail or
grease migration into areas that could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fit-
ting could damage grease seals and cause premature
bearing failure (Ref. Fig. 35 on page 21) (Ref. Fig. 36 on
page 21).
