Toro 31900A - Servicing the Air Cleaner

Servicing the Air Cleaner
Service Interval : Before each use or daily —Check
the air-cleaner restriction indicator
and replace the lter elements if
necessary .
Every 250 hours —Change the air-cleaner
element.
Check the air-cleaner body for damage, which could
cause an air leak. Replace the body if it is damaged.
Check the intake system for leaks, damage, or loose
hose clamps
Service the air-cleaner element only when the
restriction indicator ( Figure 55 ) requires it. Changing
the air cleaner element before it is necessary
increases the chance of dirt entering the engine when
you remove the element.
