Air Cleaners These engines use a heavy-duty style air cleaner (see Figure 19) or a flat air cleaner (see Figure 23). These systems are CARB/EPA certified and the components should not be altered or modified in any way. NOTE: Lift or move this engine using the lifting strap and lifting point shown in Figure 1. DO NOT lift the engine by the air cleaner. Heavy-Duty Air Cleaner The heavy-duty air cleaner consists of a cylindrical housing mounted to the carburetor and intake manifold. The housing contains a paper element and inner element, designed for longer service intervals. Oil Cooler Figure 16. Service Weekly and every 150 hours: Check filter minder (if equipped), unhook the two retaining clips on each end and remove the end caps. Perform inspection of the paper element and inlet screen area. Seasonally or every 300 hours of operation (more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions), replace the paper element and check the inner element. Unhook the two retaining clips on each end and remove the end caps from the air cleaner housing. Check and clean the screen area on the inlet side. Pull the air cleaner paper element out of the housing on opposite side. 11 Paper Element Flat Air Cleaner The flat air cleaner has a replaceable, high density paper air cleaner element. Some engines are also equipped with an oiled, foam precleaner which surrounds the paper element. Cover Knobs Air Cleaner Cover Inner Element Figure 21. After the paper element is removed, check the condition of the inner element. It should be replaced whenever it appears dirty, typically every other time the paper element is replaced or every 600 hours. Clean the area around the base of the inner element before removing it, so dirt does not get into the engine. Do not wash the paper element and inner element or use compressed air, this will damage the elements. Replace dirty, bent or damaged elements with new genuine Kohler elements as required. Handle the new elements carefully; do not use if the sealing surfaces are bent or damaged. Check all parts for wear, cracks, or damage, and make sure ejector area is clean.
