2. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air cleaner
body to reduce the amount of dust dislodged. Avoid
knocking the filter against the air cleaner body. Do
not remove the safety filter.
3. Inspect the primary filter and replace it if there is
damage. Do not wash or reuse a damaged filter.
Important: Do not attempt to clean the safety
filter. Replace the safety filter with a new one
after every 3 primary filter services.
4. Blow compressed air from the inside to the outside
of the dry filter element. Do not exceed 100 psi to
prevent damage to the element.
5. Keep the air hose nozzle at least 2 inches 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 the filter toward a
bright light.
6. Inspect the new filter for any shipping damages.
Check the sealing end of the filter. Do not install a
damaged filter.

the cover is positioned with the top side up.
Changing the Engine Oil and
Filter
Service Interval: After the first 50 hours
Every 100 hours—Change the engine
oil and filter.
Note: Change the oil and filter more frequently when
operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.
Oil Type: Detergent oil (API service SJ, SK, SL, or
higher)
Crankcase Capacity: w/filter, 2.0 qt. (1.9 l)
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the machine so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure that the oil
drains completely.
3. Set the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove
the key.
4. Place a pan below the oil drain. Remove the oil drain
plug to allow the oil to drain (Figure 19).
