6-month intervals; change more frequently if operating
under dirty, dusty conditions. Operating the set with a
dirty air cleaner element may cause engine damage and
increased fuel consumption. At the time of service,
clean the air cleaner breather pipe and remove all dust
and foreign matter from the air cleaner housing. See
