Servicing the Air Cleaner
Foam Element: Clean and oil after every 25 operating
hours.
Paper Element: Replace after every 100 operating hours or
yearly, whichever occurs first.
Note: Service the air cleaner more frequently (every few
hours) if operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
Removing the Foam and Paper Elements
1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and remove the ignition key.
2. Remove the engine cover.
3. Clean around the air cleaner to prevent dirt from getting
into the engine and causing damage. Unscrew the knob
and remove the air cleaner cover (Fig. 18).
