hours or once a year, whichever occurs first. Grease
them more frequently when using the vehicle for
heavy-duty operations.
Grease Type: Number 2 General Purpose Lithium Base

Servicing the Air Cleaner
Check the air cleaner body for damage which could
possibly cause an air leak. Replace a damaged air cleaner
body.
Ensure the cover is sealing around the air cleaner body.
Air Cleaner Filter: Inspect after every 100 operating
hours; replace after every 200 hours or sooner if dirty
or damaged.
Note:
Service the air cleaner more frequently (every
few hours) if operating conditions are extremely dusty
or sandy.
Removing the Filter Element
1. Park the machine on a level surface, set the parking
brake, turn the ignition off, and remove the key.
2. Raise the bed and secure it with the prop rod.
3. Release the latches securing the air cleaner cover
to the air cleaner body. Separate the cover from
the body. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover
(Figure 33).
4. Gently slide the filter out of the air cleaner body to
reduce the amount of dust dislodged (Figure 33).
Avoid knocking the filter against the air cleaner body.
