MAINTENANCE
Air Filter
Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in
the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 50.
Service the air filter more frequently if the vehicle is
operated in wet or dusty conditions or at high throttle
openings for extended periods.
1. Lift the cargo box to access the air box.
2. Release the four air box cover clips. Remove the air
box cover and inspect the gasket. It should adhere
tightly to the cover.
3. Remove the air filter assembly with a pulling and
twisting motion. Use care to avoid damaging the fil-
ter element.
4. Remove debris from the filter using low pressure
compressed air. Lightly blow from the inside out.
NOTICE: Operating a diesel engine with a soiled or damaged
air filter can result in engine damage. Do not
attempt to wash the filter. Always replace a soiled or
damaged filter with a new filter.
5. Clean any oil or water deposits from the air box.
6. Apply a small amount of all-purpose grease to the
sealing edges of the filter. Make sure the plastic ring
is installed.
7. Reinstall the filter into the air box. Make sure it fits
tightly.
8. Align the tab and notch of the air box cover and
secure the cover clips.
