Your John Deere Mower’s air filter will need to be replaced at least once a year. This will ensure that your mower will continue to run to the best of its ability. Follow these steps to keep your mower it tip-top shape:
- use your hand and a brush to clear the intake screen
- make sure to do the cleaning when the engine is cold
- check the air filter’s paper element
- if dirty, remove and discard (it cannot be cleaned)
- if foam pre-cleaner is dirty, rinse in warm water and liquid soap
- squeeze excess water and then gently squeeze in dry towel until dry
- clean pre-cleaner’s area and then reinstall
- insert new air filter and cover (read operator’s manual for help)
