A. CLEANING AND/OR REPLACING AIR CLEANER ELEMENT

Figure 7-6. C.A.R.B. / EPA Phase 3 Fuel Level

To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive.

1.Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

2.Use only an approved gasoline container.

3.Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to completely cool before fueling.

4.Never fuel the machine indoors or in an enclosed trailer.

5.Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water heater or other appliances.

6.Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling.

7.Remove the machine from the truck or trailer and fuel on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel the machine with a portable container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.

8.Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of fuel tank or container opening at all times until fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.

9.If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately and wash affected skin.

For any air cleaner, the operating environment dictates the air cleaner service periods. Inspect and clean the air cleaner element after every 100 hours of operation or bi- weekly, whichever occurs first and replace the element if required.

- NOTE -

In extremely dusty conditions it may be necessary to check the element once or twice daily to prevent engine damage.

1.Release the two latches securing the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner assembly and remove the cover. Set aside.

2.Remove the air cleaner and inspect.

3.Clean or replace the air cleaner and foam pre-cleaner as recommended by the engine manufacturer.

4.Replace the air cleaner cover and be sure to snap the two latches closed.
