Engine Maintenance

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Every 50 hours
Every 400 hours
•
Inspect the air-cleaner body for damage, which could
cause an air leak. Replace the air-cleaner body if it is
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 or at the recommended maintenance
interval. Changing the air filter more frequently only
increases the chance of dirt entering the engine when you
remove the filter.
•
Be sure that the cover is seated correctly and seals with
the air-cleaner body.
1. Pull the latch outward and rotate the air-cleaner cover
counterclockwise
2. Use low-pressure air (40 psi, clean and dry) to
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 area.
Note: This cleaning process prevents debris from
migrating into the intake when you remove the primary
filter.
3. Remove the cover from the air-cleaner body
