Section 4 Maintenance and Lubrication

Damaged Filter, Seals or Canister

Never bang or bump the filter element against the tire or any solid object, as dust and dirt particles will be forced through the media causing continual passing of dirt into the engine. Visually inspect the outside of the air cleaner canister periodically for external damage and replace if necessary.

Incorrect Air Filter Element

Use only the correct Donaldson air filter element, Land Pride part number 839-312C, which is designed to fit the canister properly. Land Pride air filter elements have the correct media composition, filter area, micron size and dimensions. Always use genuine Land Pride filters. Many aftermarket filters have been found to be incompatible with Land Pride’s canisters and engines.

The air filter must remain intact to block passage of dirt and foreign particles from entering the engine. Being inclined to disbelieve the need for more expensive air filter elements used on gasoline engines may cause some individuals to opt for a less expensive part.

The filter element must be sufficient size and construction to withstand stresses, caused by rapid cycling of the air volume demanded by the engine, without cracking or tearing under fatigue and pressure (especially diesel engines). Therefore, Land Pride and the engine manufacturers have carefully selected a reliable filter designed to fit the needs of the engines. The filter specified is a Donaldson filter, Land Pride part number 839-312C.

Owners should be reminded that failure to use original equipment replacement parts is an alteration and will not be considered for warranty in the event of engine damage.

Engine Air Filter Service Procedure

1.Release clamps and remove element. Clean the canister with a damp cloth.

2.Before installing a new element, inspect it by placing a bright light inside and rotate the element slowly, looking for any holes or tears in the paper. Also check gaskets for cuts or tears. Do not attempt to use a damaged element which will allow abrasive particles to enter the engine.

3.Reinstall the dust cup. Make sure it seals all the way around the air cleaner body, then tighten the clamps.

4.Check all fittings and clamps periodically for tightness and inspect hoses for holes or cracks.

5.Periodically check the intake hose for signs of ingested dust. Locate and repair the source of ingested dirt.

6.Never operate a machine without an air filter installed.

General Engine Maintenance

Detailed instructions and recommendations for break-in and regular maintenance are specified in the Engine Operator’s manual. Please refer to this manual for engine servicing, lubricating oil levels with quality and viscosity recommendations, bolt torques, etc. The engine warranty is backed by the engine manufacturer. Special attention should be paid to applicable data which will not be duplicated here.
