Your tractor is equipped with a dry-type air cleaner with a replaceable element.

IMPORTANT: Service the air induction system at the given service intervals. Correct maintenance will make longer life of the engine. Keep all connections on the outlet hose tight.

Dump Valve

The dust in the filter case should be dumped daily by using the dump valve when operating in extremely dusty conditions.

Air Filter Element Removal

Avoid over servicing the air filter element. The filter element should be removed for cleaning only when restriction causes a power loss.

Step 1

Stop the engine.

Step 2

Open the hood and set the hood support rod.

Step 4

When servicing the air filter element, unhook the clamp and remove element by pulling it straight out very carefully. Clean interior of canister.

After replacing the new or cleaned element, install and tighten the wing bolt.

NOTE: Never attempt to remove the element from the air cleaner while the engine is running.

When installing the element, inspect the element gasket. If the gasket or element surface is damaged, replace the element immediately.

Element Cleaning

Use clean, dry compressed air up and down the pleats on the clean side (inside) of the element.

Continue this until the element is clean.

NOTE:

1. The paper element must be handled with care. Do not hit the element against a hard surface.

2. Air pressure at the nozzle must not exceed 689 kPa (100 psi).

3. It may be necessary to replace the element sooner if the time interval between servicing becomes short indicating the element dose not respond to cleaning (soot contaminated).

System Inspection

Check the dump valve and the all hoses for cracks and wear. Replace if needed. All the connections on the hoses must be tight. All the gaskets must be in good condition and the bolts must be drawn up tight.

NOTE:Inspect the hoses and connections after the first 50 hours of operation and replace when necessary.
