REV A 5-2 127180
Engine Air Filter
These mowers come equipped with two different styles of
air filters; integrated or canister. The required servicing for
these two filter types is different from one to the other. Refer
to the following for the one appropriate for your mower.
Integrated Type
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the Maintenance
Schedule shown elsewhere in this manual. Figure 5-3
Canister Type
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the Maintenance
Schedule shown elsewhere in this manual.
A specially designed dry filter is standard equipment on
these mowers and supplies clean combustion air to the
engine. Figure 5-4
These mowers are equipped with a safety filter. The filter
element slides over the safety filter. Figure 5-5
The safety filter does not require servicing unless it
becomes contaminated with dirt or moisture.
Recommended Service Procedure
1. Release clamps and remove element. Clean the air
cleaner canister with a damp cloth.
2. Before installing a new element, inspect it by placing a
bright light inside and rotating the element slowly,
looking for any holes or tears in the paper. Also check
gaskets for cuts or tears. Do not attempt to use a
damaged element which will allow abrasive particles
to enter the engine.
3. Reinstall the dust cap. Make sure it seals all the way
around the air cleaner canister, then tighten the
clamps. Figure 5-4
4. Check all fittings and clamps periodically for tightness
and inspect hoses for holes or cracks.
5. Periodically check the intake hose for signs of
ingested dust. Locate and repair the source of
ingested dirt.
