Check and Clean Air Filter Screen

What happens here

Locate the air filter screen at the front of the tractor. This screen collects debris like grass and dust during operation. Carefully remove the screen and visually inspect it for blockages. As demonstrated in the video, a significant amount of dried grass and dirt (referred to as 'grass jerky') can accumulate. Tap or shake the screen to dislodge loose debris. For more thorough cleaning, rinse it with water if necessary, then allow it to dry completely before reinstallation. This is a daily maintenance item, especially after mowing or working in dusty conditions.

Goal: Ensure proper airflow by cleaning the air filter screen.
