ENGINE COOLING
This tractor has an air cooled engine. Air
must be able to circulate freely around the
engine, through the screen and shroud, and
over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinderblock.
Keep these areas free of accumulated
dirt and trash or the engine will overheat and
result in damaged moving parts.
DRY-TYPE AIR CLEANER
Incoming air for combustion is filtered by
a dry-type air cleaner having a filter element
inside of the cover.
Remove and clean or replace the element
with a new one when loss of power isnoticeable.

Cleaning the Element
Replacing the Element
To clean the element. remove the wing nut
and air cleaner cover (1IIust. 14) then remove the
element and tap it lightl y on a flat surface to
cause the loose dirt to falloff. Handle the
paper element with care to avoid perforations.Do
not use compressed air to remove the dirt
as this can rupture the element. Do not wash
or use a solvent.
Replace the element with a new one if dirt
does not drop off easily or if it is bent,crushed
or damaged. When replacing the ele-
ment be sure it fits snugly around the insideedge
of the air cleaner base. Then replace the
cover and tighten the wing nut finger tight.
