Service Air Cleaner
A dual element air cleaner is standard. A dirty primary element is indicated when the air restriction indicator on instrument panel illuminates. A dirty element can result in loss of power or excessive smoke.
IMPORTANT:
Check unloader valve (B) frequently. Empty as often as needed to keep it from filling with dust. If valve is allowed to fill with dust, air cleaner element will plug rapidly.
Service air cleaner (A) when indicator light illuminates, every 250 hours or at least once a year.
Replace primary element at least one a year.
The secondary element should be removed only when being replaced, normally once a year. (See procedure in Remove Air Cleaner Elements in Service section.)
