Replace the inner cartridge (6) yearly or every 250 hours whichever comes first. IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to clean the secondary element. This filter element must be replaced if it is unusually dirty or damaged. NOTE: Operation in dusty conditions may require more frequent maintenance of the primary and secondary air cleaner cartridges. CAUTION: Do not use pressurized air to clean paper element. FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTION: Fuel vapors are explosive and flammable. Do not smoke while handling fuel. Keep fuel away from flames or sparks. Shut off engine before servicing. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Clean up spilled fuel immediately. Be sure the engine is stopped, the steering control levers are in the park position and the key is removed before making these repairs. Be sure to inspect the fuel lines periodically. The lines are subject to deterioration and wear. Fuel could leak out onto a running engine and cause a fire. WARNING: Improper use of solvents can result in fire or explosion. Do not use gasoline or low flash point solvents to clean the fuel filter and/or the fuel pump. Clean only in a well-ventilated area away from sources of sparks or flame, including any appliances with a pilot light. IMPORTANT: Special care should be taken when the fuel lines are removed for maintenance or repair. Close both ends of the fuel line with a piece of paper or a clean cloth to prevent dust or dirt particles from contaminating the fuel. Even a small amount of dust or dirt can cause premature wear or failure of fuel components. The fuel line connections are composed of rubber and they will age regardless of the service period. If there is any deterioration of the fuel lines or clamps, replace them. Check the fuel filter regularly. If it is clogged by debris or contaminated with water, replace it. The fuel filter cannot be disassembled. If the fuel filter becomes clogged, replace it with a new one. 1. Park the machine safely in a wellventilated area. 2. Allow to cool. 3. Compress hose with clamp between tank and filter. Use care not to damage or puncture hose. 4. Disconnect the hose clamps (1) from the fuel filter (see figure 25). 5. Slide the fuel line off of both ends of the fuel filter (2). 6. Install the new fuel filter paying close attention to the flow direction (3) noted on the fuel filter. 7. Remove clamp. The fuel pump can not be disassembled. If the fuel pump fails, replace it with a new one.
