Servicing the Air Cleaner

Check the air cleaner body for damage which could
possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air
cleaner body.
Ensure the cover is sealing around the air cleaner
body.
Air Cleaner Filter: Inspect after every
100 operating hours; replace after every 200 hours
or sooner if dirty or damaged.
Note: Service the air cleaner more frequently
(every few hours) if operating conditions are
extremely dusty or sandy.
Removing the Filter Element
1. Park the machine on a level surface, set the
parking brake, turn the ignition off, and
remove the key.
2. Raise the bed and secure it with the prop rod.
3. Release the latches securing the air cleaner
cover to the air cleaner body. Separate the
cover from the body. Clean the inside of the
air cleaner cover (Figure 33).
4. Gently slide the filter out of the air cleaner
body to reduce the amount of dust dislodged
(Figure 33). Avoid knocking the filter against
the air cleaner body.
