3.6.2 Check Air Cleaner Restriction
1. Remove the cover from the filter hous
-
ing can. Then pull the outer, primary fil
-
ter out of the can.
2. Do not remove the inner, secondary fil
-
ter unless it is to be replaced. It is not
serviceable (cannot be cleaned).
3. If the secondary filter is removed, use a
rag to wipe the inside of the filter can
and can cover clean.
4. If the secondary filter is being replaced,
do so now. Do not attempt to clean this
filter.
5. Check the primary element for any
damage, and replace if any is discov-
ered. Typically this element can be
cleaned and reused about six times, or
up to one year of service. To clean the
element, tap the sides to loosen dirt.
Then apply compressed air from the in
-
side, through the pleats in the element
to force dirt out of the filter. The element
can also be washed in a warm water
and detergent solution. The element
must be allowed to air dry before rein
-
stalling. Do not dry with compressed air
or damage will result. See Figure 3-3.
3.6.3 Lubricate Grease Fittings
At each oil change, apply a high-quality
grease to all grease fittings. See Figure
3-1 for locations.
