3. Avoid removing the element except when clean­
ing. To remove the element, first remove wing
nut by turning counterclockwise. (See Figure 43.)
4. To ciean the element, use clean dry compressed
air on the inside of the element. Maintain reason­
able distance between the nozzle and the filter.
Air pressure at the nozzle must not exceed 100
psi (7 kgf/cm, 690 kpa).
5. When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak
the element in a mixture of 2 oz. detergent dis­
solved in 1 gallon of water for 15 minutes, then
wash it several times in water, rinse with clean
water and air dry completely. After element is
fully dried, inspect inside of the element with a
light and check if it is damaged. (Refer to the
instruction on the label attached to the element.)
6. Replace the element every year or after every six
cleanings.
IMPORTANT
Install the dust cup with the keyed edge
towards the left side of tractor. If the dust
cup is mounted incorrectly, dust or dirt does
not collect in the cup, and dust will cause
severe engine damage.
HYDROSTATIC DRIVE HYDRAULIC FLUID FILTER
NOTE
Clean the outside area before removing the
filter to keep dirt from getting into the
transmission case. If a mower is mounted
on the tractor, the mower must be lowered
to facilitate removal of the filter.
