Donaldson Radialseal™ Air Cleaner
A remote mounted Donaldson Radialseal™ air
cleaner provides the air ltering function. The paper
lter element slides over an outlet tube inside the air
cleaner canister with radial sealing action, reducing
the possibility of dust leaks due to improper lter
installation. Intake design, internal bafing, and a
dust ejection valve provide dust separation and
auto matic precleaning action. Daily or frequent ser-
vicing of the air cleaner is not required. Use the air
lter re striction gauge on the air cleaner outlet to
indicate when the air lter needs servicing -- a yellow
indicator will show when the lter is overly restricting
airow into the engine.
IMPORTANT: Use only Donaldson air lter ele-
ments for replacement (Donaldson P822686 or
Walker 5090-1). Aftermarket lters may not seal
properly or lter efciently.

Inspect the paper element after every 100 hours of
service and replace the element and safety lter
yearly (or when dirty or damaged). More frequent
replacement may be required when operating in ex-
tremely dusty con ditions as indicated by the air lter
restriction gauge. Ser vice the air cleaner as fol-
lows:
1. Release the top and bottom cover latches and
remove the air cleaner cover. Wash the cover
and dust ejection valve. Check that these com-
ponents are in good condition. The dust ejec-
tion valve is subject to wear and deterioration
and should be inspected carefully and replaced
yearly or when damaged. The lips of the valve
should close and t togeth er; any cracks, defor-
mation, or wear in the valve is cause for re-
placement.
2. Remove the lter element by pulling it out of the
canister. There will be some initial resistance
as the lter seal breaks loose and slides off of
the outlet tube. Gently move the end of the
lter up and down and side to side or twist to
loosen the seal. Use gentle action to minimize
the amount of dust dislodged as the lter is re-
moved.
3. Discard the lter element if excessive air ow
restriction has been indicated by the air lter
restriction gauge and proceed to Step 6. Clean
the lter element by gently tapping on a at,
hard surface. If excessive restriction still exists
after cleaning the element, it should be re-
placed.
