REV A 5-2 122832
Canister type
Perform engine air filter maintenance per the Maintenance
Schedule shown elsewhere in this manual.
A specially designed dry filter is standard equipment on
these mowers and supplies clean combustion air to the
engine. Figure 5-4 & Figure 5-5
These mowers are equipped with a safety filter. The filter
element slides over the safety filter. Figure 5-6 & Figure 5-7
The safety filter does not require servicing unless it
becomes contaminated with dirt or moisture.
Recommended service procedure
1. Release clamps and remove element. Clean the air
cleaner canister with a damp cloth.
2. Before installing a new element, inspect it by placing a
bright light inside and rotating the element slowly,
looking for any holes or tears in the paper. Also check
gaskets for cuts or tears. Do not attempt to use a dam-
aged element which will allow abrasive particles to
enter the engine.
3. Reinstall the dust cap. Make sure it seals all the way
around the air cleaner canister, then tighten the
clamps. Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5
