Every 250 hours (more often in dirty
or dusty conditions).
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull the air
cleaner cover off of the air cleaner body (Figure 31).

the filter. Holes in the filter will appear as bright
spots. If the filter is damaged discard it.
