Servicing the Air Cleaner
Primary Filter: Clean or replace every 200 operating
hours.
Safety Filter: Replace after every 600 operating
hours.
Note: Service the air cleaner more frequently
if operating conditions are extremely
dusty or sandy.
Removing the Filter
1. Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the
parking brake, and turn the ignition key to
“OFF” to stop the engine. Remove the key.
Remove spark plug wire(s) and remove the key.
2. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull the
air cleaner cover off of the air cleaner body
(Fig. 19).
3. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with
compressed air .
4. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air
cleaner body (Fig. 19). Avoid knocking the
filter into the side of the body. Do not remove
the safety filter, unless you intend to replace it as
well.
5. Inspect the primary filter for damage by looking
into the filter while shining a bright light on the
outside of the filter. Holes in the filter will
appear as bright spots. If the filter is damaged,
discard it, otherwise clean it.
IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clean the
safety filter. If the safety filter is dirty, then
the primary filter is damaged and you should
replace both filters.
