Servicing the Air Cleaner

General Air Cleaner Maintenance
1. Check air cleaner body for damage which could
possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air
cleaner body.
2. Service the air cleaner filters whenever air cleaner
indicator (Fig. 46) shows red or every 400 hours (more
frequently in extreme dusty or dirty conditions). Do not
over service air filter.
3. Be sure cover is sealing around air cleaner body.
Servicing the Precleaner Bowl
Normally, inspect precleaner bowl daily. When conditions
are extremely dusty and dirty, inspect more frequently. Do
not let dust or debris build up above level marks on
precleaner bowl.
1. Remove thumb screw and separate cover from
precleaner bowl (Fig. 46).
2. Empty precleaner bowl and wipe clean.
3. Assemble and install precleaner bowl, cover, and thumb
screw.
Note: When operating machine in extremely dusty
conditions, an optional extension tube (Toro Part No.
43-3810), which raises precleaner bowl above hood, thus,
lengthening the time between precleaner bowl servicing, is
available from your local authorized Toro Distributor.

body. Separate cover from body. Clean inside of air
