7.7 BATTERY
A. Checking Electrolyte Level and Cleaning
Battery
After every 40 hours of operation or weekly, whichever
occurs first, check the electrolyte level in the battery and
clean the battery and connections. Dirt and fluid on the
top of the battery can cause the battery to discharge.
Corrosion of the battery terminals or loose connections
will cause poor battery performance.
WARNING:
2. Install a new fuel filter. Be sure it is installed in the
proper direction. Secure to the fuel hose using the
two clamps. Wipe up any spilled gasoline and
dispose of rags in an approved container.
7.6 ENGINE AIR CLEANER
A. Cleaning and/or Replacing Air Cleaner

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 neces-
sary to check the element once or twice daily to
prevent engine damage.
1. Remove the wing nut securing the air cleaner cover
to the engine. Remove the air cleaner cover and set
aside.
2. Remove the nut securing the clamping plate and the
air cleaner to the engine. Remove the clamping plate
and set aside. Remove the air cleaner and inspect.
3. Clean or replace the air cleaner and foam pre-
cleaner as neccessary.
