Servicing the Air Cleaner

Foam Element: Clean and oil after every 25 operating
hours.
Paper Element: Clean after every 100 operating hours.
Replace after every 200 operating hours or yearly,
whichever comes 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

neutral locked position and apply the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.

into the engine and causing damage. Unlatch the two
side latches and remove the air cleaner cover (Fig. 20).
4. Carefully remove the foam element from the paper
element (Fig. 20).
5. Unscrew the wing nut and remove the paper element
