Servicing the Air Cleaner

Foam Element: Clean and oil after every 25 operating

hours, or yearly, whichever occurs first.

Note: Remove excess oil or damage to paper element may

occur.

Paper Element: Replace after every 100 operating hours

or yearly, whichever occurs first.

Note: Service the air cleaner more frequently (every few

hours) if operating conditions are extremely dusty or sandy.

Removing the Foam and Paper Elements

1. Stop the engine and remove the key.

2. Clean around the air cleaner to prevent dirt from getting

into the engine and causing damage (Fig. 19).
