Servicing The Air Cleaner - Toro 30410 Operator's Manual

Servicing the Air Cleaner

Check the air cleaner body for damage which could
possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner
body.
Service the air cleaner filters when the air cleaner indicator
(Fig. 44) shows red or every 400 hours (more frequently in
extremely dusty or dirty conditions). Do not over-service
the air filter.
Be sure that the cover is sealing around the air cleaner
body.
1. Pull the latch outward and rotate the air cleaner cover
counterclockwise. Remove the cover from the body
(Fig. 44). Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover.

4. Cleaning the air filter:
A. Blow compressed air from the inside to the outside
of the dry filter element. To prevent damage to the
element, do not exceed 100 psi (689 kPa).
B. Keep the air hose nozzle at least 2 in. (51 mm) from
the filter and move the nozzle up and down while
rotating the filter element. Inspect the filter for holes
and tears by looking through it toward a bright light.
5. Inspect the new filter for shipping damage. Check the
sealing end of the filter. Do not install a damaged filter.
