Air Cleaner Maintenance

• Check the air cleaner body for damage which could
cause an air leak. Replace if damaged. Check the
whole intake system for leaks, damage or loose hose
clamps.
• Service the air cleaner filter only when the service
indicator requires it. Changing the air filter before it
is necessary only increases the chance of dirt entering
the engine when the filter is removed.
• Be sure the cover is seated correctly and seals with
the air cleaner body.
Servicing the Air Cleaner Cover
Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Remove air cleaner
cover and clean out debris Do not
remove filter.
Check the air cleaner body for damage which could
cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner body.
Service the air cleaner filter only when the service
indicator (Figure 57). requires it. Changing the air filter
before it is necessary only increases the chance of dirt
entering the engine when the filter is removed.
1. Pull the latch outward and rotate the air cleaner
cover counterclockwise (Figure 57).
2. Remove the cover from the air cleaner body.
3. Clean any debris from cover and reinstall cover. Do
not remove air filters
Servicing the Air Cleaner Filter
1. Before removing the filter, use low pressure
air (40 psi, clean and dry) to help remove large
accumulations of debris packed between outside of
primary filter and the canister. Avoid using high
pressure air which could force dirt through the filter
into the intake tract. This cleaning process prevents
debris from migrating into the intake when the
primary filter is removed.
2. Remove the primary filter (Figure 57). Cleaning of
the used element is not recommended due to the
possibility of damage to the filter media. Inspect the
new filter for shipping damage, checking the sealing
end of the filter and the body. Do not use a damaged
element. Do not remove the safety filter (Figure 58).
