SERVICING THE VEHICLE
AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
This is a large capacity dry type air cleaner with a replace-
able element.
We recommend the filter element be replaced before
engine performance is effected. This may occur at 250
hours of service in very dirty operating conditions or at 500
hours in normal operating conditions.
We DO NOT recommend cleaning the filter element
because of the possibility of damaging the element.
Check the element for damage, pin holes, etc. by placing a
light source such as a flashlight inside.
Clean dust from inside of housing with damp cloth, making
sure dust does NOT enter air intake.
Check all gaskets to be sure they are NOT damaged or
loose.
Position the cover so that the collector is pointing down. Clamp cover into position with collector pointing down.
Checking and Installing the Element
To remove the air cleaner element release the latches
securing the cover to the air cleaner assembly. Remove
the filter element.
Replace the element if it is damaged or is excessively
clogged with dirt and/or debris.
T ilt the engine cover forward and locate the air cleaner on
the right rear of the engine (See Fig. 37).

A dirty, clogged or damaged air filter will cause the engine to start hard as well as run rough and sluggish. Don’t forget
to check the air cleaner element if the engine does not run smoothly and other problems cannot be found.
• The dust collector empties automatically when properly installed with collector down.
• DO NOT use bent or dented air cleaner assemblies.
• DO NOT use bent or damaged air cleaner element.
Insert element in housing open end first.
WARNING
!
• Before servicing or doing any maintenance
work around the engine area, make sure the
engine has had time to cool. Serious burns can
result if the engine or surrounding area is hot.
