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.
In extremely dusty conditions it may be necessary
to check the element once or twice daily to
prevent engine damage.

air cleaner cover to the engine. For the KA model,
remove the two wing nuts securing the air cleaner
cover to the engine. Remove the air cleaner cover

manufacturer.
