Fuel Specifications
In North America, diesel fuel distilled from crude oil
and identified as NO. 1-D or No. 2-D in “ASTM
D975” generally meets the proper specifications.
Air Cleaner
The air cleaner is one of the most important mainte-
nance items on the machine. A poorly maintained air
cleaner can seriously shorten the life of the engine.
Air Filter Change Procedures
NOTICE
When working in dusty conditions, the air cleaner ele-
ments should be checked and changed more frequently
than when working under normal conditions.
NOTICE
Do not clean the primary air cleaner element by bumping
and tapping. This could damage the seals. Do not use
elements with damaged pleat gaskets or seals.
1. Open the hood, release the latches on either
side of the air cleaner, and then remove the
cover.

2. Remove the primary element. The primary ele-
ment can be cleaned and reused up to five
times, but it should be changed at least once a
year.
