5. Lightly tap the paper filter on a flat surface to remove
dust and dirt (Fig. 30).
6. Inspect the paper filter for tears, an oily film, and
damage to the rubber seal.
Important Never clean the paper element with
pressurized air or liquids, such as solvent, gas, or
kerosene. Replace the paper element if it is damaged, or
cannot be cleaned thoroughly (i.e., after approximately
100 operating hours).

Installing the Filters
Important To prevent engine damage, always operate
the engine with the complete foam and paper air cleaner
assembly installed.
1. Carefully slide the foam pre-filter onto the paper filter
(Fig. 28).
2. Place the air cleaner assembly onto the air cleaner base
(Fig. 28).
3. Install the cover and secure it with the wingnut
(Fig. 28).
4. Install the air cleaner cover and secure with the knob
(Fig. 28).
5. Close the hood.

Changing the Oil
1. Start the engine and let it run for five minutes. This
warms the oil so it drains better.
2. Park the traction unit so that the drain side is slightly
lower than the opposite side to ensure that the oil
drains completely.
3. Lower the loader arms, set the parking brake, stop the
engine, and remove the key.
Components will be hot if the traction unit has
been running. If you touch hot components you
may be burned.
Allow the traction unit to cool before performing
maintenance or touching components under the
hood.
Caution
4. Remove the drain plug (Fig. 31).
