7.16 Air Cleaner Inspection
A properly functioning air cleaner is necessary to ensure performance and to
prolong engine life. Visually inspect the air cleaner regularly to determine if
service is required.
To inspect:
1. Shut the machine down according to the procedure in section 5.13,
2. Open the hood at the rear of the machine to access the air cleaner housing.
3. Release the latches on either side of the air cleaner housing, then remove
the cover to expose the primary filter for inspection. DO NOT REMOVE the
primary filter element at this time.
4. Without removing the elements, visually inspect the primary filter element
for presence and condition. If the element is heavily soiled (and engine
performance is negatively affected), service is required (see section 7.17).
5. If the elements appear clean or even lightly soiled (and engine performance
is not negatively affected), reverse steps 2-3 of this procedure to reinstall
the housing cover, close the hood and return the machine to operating
condition.
Note: If the air cleaner does not require service, continue regular inspections and
replace elements as needed following the procedure in section 7.17.
