Maintenance
Checking the fuel pump’s air filter
Check regularly that the fuel pump’s air filter is free from dirt. The filter can when necessary be cleaned with a brush.
•Remove the screws and open the pump, no hoses need be removed.
•Replace the pump on the console.
Checking the transmission’s air intake
Check that the transmission’s air intake in not blocked.
Remove the transmission cover and clean any grass cuttings from the transmission’s cooling fins if necessary.
Cooling is impaired if the air intakes are blocked or the transmission housing is dirty, this can result in damage to the transmission.
Replacing the air filter
WARNING! The exhaust system is hot. Let it
!cool before starting to replace the air filter.
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly this may be because the air filter is clogged. It is therefore important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see Maintenance/Maintenance Schedule for the correct service interval).
Replace the air filter as follows:
1Open the engine cover.
2Loosen the two fasteners holding the filter cover and remove it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Never run the engine without the air filter fitted.
The filters must not be oiled. They must be fitted dry.
3 Remove the filter cartridge from the filter housing.
4Clean the filter by knocking the filter carefully against a hard surface and blowing with compressed air from inside. Never brush the dirt away. Replace the air filter if it is very dirty.
PF 21 and PF 21 AWD have an additional filter located behind the filter cartridge. Clean the filter by knocking it with care against a hard surface. Do not use compressed air for this filter.
5Replace the filter cartridge. Make sure the filter cartridge is correctly fitted over the air intake in the filter housing.
6Replace the air filter cover, ensure that the particle collector is facing downwards.
