Level 1.
Tools required: 25 - 50mm (1 - 2 in.) cleaning brush
NOTE
Always brush dirt and debris away from air cleaner area prior to
cleaning air filter.
Brush dirt off air cleaner area. Keep dirt away from engine and air
intake grid.
Remove air filter cover. Brush dirt from inside cover and away from
edges of air filter.
Check air filter seal for tight fit with air filter case.
Remove air filter from case. Use care to prevent dirt and debris from
falling into air filter case.
Inspect filter element and seal. Replace filter if any of these problems
are present:
•Air filter seal does not fit tightly against case
•Air filter seal is distorted, worn, or damaged
•Air filter element has holes or other damage
•Air filter element is saturated with dirt
•Air filter element is soaked with fuel mix
If air filter is in good condition and can be cleaned and reused, lightly
brush debris from air filter element, or blow filter element clean using
low pressure (40 psi or less) compressed air directed at inside of filter.
IMPORTANT
When using compressed air, always direct air stream at inside sur-
face of filter so dust and debris will be blown out of filter. Keep air
nozzle 6 - 8 inches away from filter to prevent damage to filter.
Install air filter in case, and replace cover.
NOTICE
Actual replacement interval for air filter depends on operating con-
ditions. Operation in dustier applications requires more frequent
cleaning and replacement. Continued operation with a damaged
or excessively dirty filter will allow dirt and debris to enter engine,
and result in poor performance, rapid engine wear, and premature
engine failure.
