Refer to Figure 5-15 & Figure 5-16:
Perform engine air filter maintenance per Maintenance
Schedule on page 35.
1. Replace filter element every 200 hours or every year,
(whichever comes first). Service more frequently
when used in dusty conditions.
2. Release retaining clips and remove filter element.
Clean canister with a damp cloth.
3. Before installing a new filter 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 elementwhich will allow abrasive particles
to enter the engine.
4. Kawasaki & Kohler: Install new Inner element into
the new outer element as shown in Figure 5-15.
5. All Engines: Install new outer filter element by
inserting the open end in the canister first.
6. Reinstall canister cap with burp valve positioned
below the canister. Make sure it seals all around the
canister before latching retaining clips.
7. Check all fittings and clamps periodically for tightness.
Inspect hoses for holes or cracks.
8. Periodically check engine intake hose for signs of
ingested dust. Locate and repair source of ingested
dirt.
9. Never operate a machine without an air filter installed.
NOTE: Do not operate engine with adamaged air filter
or without an air filter element. Dirt will enter the
engine causing a dust induced engine damage.
NOTE: Do not block air intake to the canister such as
setting an object in front of the air intake opening.
