Maintenance
Engine Air Filter
The engine inlet air lter assembly uses a replaceable
lter element.
The air lter element should be
replaced one time for each 100 hours of paver
operation, or monthly, for a paver which is operated
under normal conditions, or more often for a paver
that is operated under severe conditions. Never
operate the engine without an air cleaner element
installed.
Do not service the air cleaner element
while the engine is running.
To service the air cleaner element:
1. Remove the rear cover air lter.
2. Remove the primary and secondary air lter
elements and discard.
3. Clean the inside of the air cleaner body with a clean
cloth.
Severe engine damage can occur
if engine is operated without air lter properly
installed.
4. Carefully install the new air lter elements into the
canister.
5. Install the rear covers on the canister.
6. Check all the clamps for intake air at lter and turbo
to make sure everything is tight and in contact.
7. Start the engine using all the correct starting
procedures given in Operation section of this
manual. Check that engine runs smoothly.
Engine Fuel Filters
The fuel lter element must be replaced as directed in
the current Kubota diesel engine manual. Replace the
fuel lter using the following “general” procedure and
very specic information given in the current engine
manual.
Diesel fuel is very ammable. Use
extra caution.
Do not change the fuel lter with the paver running.
Do not change the fuel lter in an area near an open
ame. Do not smoke while changing the fuel lter.
Do not spill fuel.
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
2. Put a container under the fuel lter, before removing
the lter element.
3. Wipe the area around the fuel lter element and the
element mounting head, using a clean lint free cloth.
4. Use a lter removal wrench to loosen and remove
the element, by turning the element in a clockwise
direction. Drain and discard the removed element.
5. Wipe the inside area of the lter head with a
clean lint free cloth. Fill the new fuel lter element
completely full with the clean diesel fuel. Put clean
fuel on the element rubber gasket.
6. Install the new fuel lter element onto the lter head.
Carefully tighten the element by hand only.
Tighten the fuel strainer or the fuel
lter element as directed on the lter element, by the
lter manufacturer. Do not overtighten the fuel lter
element onto the lter head.

Explosion Hazard! Stop the engine
immediately if any fuel leakage is noted. Do not start
the engine until the leakage problem is corrected.
