Land Pride
Damaged Filter, Seals or Canister
Never bang or bump the filter element against the tire or
any solid object, as dust and dirt particles will be forced
through the media causing continual passing of dirt into
the engine. Visually inspect the outside of the air cleaner
canister periodically for external damage and replace if
necessary.
Incorrect Air Filter Element
Use only the correct Donaldson air filter element, Land
Pride part number 839-312C, which is designed to fit the
canister properly. Land Pride air filter elements have the
correct media composition, filter area, micron size and
dimensions. Always use genuine Land Pride filters. Many
aftermarket filters have been found to be incompatible
with Land Pride’s canisters and engines.
The air filter must remain intact to block passage of dirt
and foreign particles from entering the engine. Being
inclined to disbelieve the need for more expensive air filter
elements used on gasoline engines may cause some
individuals to opt for a less expensive part.
The filter element must be sufficient size and construction
to withstand stresses, caused by rapid cycling of the air
volume demanded by the engine, without cracking or
tearing under fatigue and pressure (especially diesel
engines). Therefore, Land Pride and the engine
manufacturers have carefully selected a reliable filter
designed to fit the needs of the engines. The filter
specified is a Donaldson filter, Land Pride part number
839-312C.
Owners should be reminded that failure to use original
equipment replacement parts is an alteration and will not
be considered for warrantyin the eventof engine damage.
Engine Air Filter Service Procedure
1. Release clamps and remove element. Clean the
canister with a damp cloth.
2. Before installing a new element, inspect it by placing a
bright light inside and rotate the element slowly,
looking for any holes or tears in the paper. Also check
gaskets for cuts or tears. Do not attempt to use a
damaged element which will allow abrasive particles
to enter the engine.
3. Reinstall the dust cup. Make sure it seals all the way
around the air cleaner body, then tighten the clamps.
4. Check all fittings and clamps periodically for tightness
and inspect hoses for holes or cracks.
5. Periodically check the intake hose for signs of
ingested dust. Locate and repair the source of
ingested dirt.
6. Never operate a machine without an air filter installed.
