Checking Air Filter Intake Hose

All air filter hoses are checked similarly.

1. Park machine safely.

2. Raise hood.

3. Inspect air intake system hoses and connections each time the air filter is changed, or at a minimum yearly.

   Visually inspect hose for cracks and wear. Squeeze hose to check for deterioration. Hose should not be hard and brittle, or soft or swollen. If one or more are present see your John Deere dealer.
