An air filter (fig. 1506151) in bad conditions results in the
reduction of power, excessive fuel consumption and reduced
enginelife.
A clogged filter is signaled by the indicator light (fig.1506152)
locatedontheinstrumentpanelofthevehicle;aftertheclogging
indication it is possible to continue operating for a period not
longer than 10 hours. The maintenance must however be
performedatthefrequencyrequired.

WARNING
When the clogging is indicated, it is possible to continue working for not more than one hour.
Itisrecommendedto:
– Clean the filters only when the indicator light indicates clogging or at the frequency required.
Unnecessaryandtoofrequentcleaningexposestheelementstodamagebyhandlingthatcanallowdust
anddirttopassthroughthefilteringstageandcauseenginedamage.
– Incasethefilterelementsareincontactwithliquidsofanykindtheymustbereplaced.
– Periodicallycheckthesuctionhoses,replacethemimmediatelyincasetheyaredamagedordeteriorated.
– Periodicallycheckthetightnessoftheboltsandclamps.Airmustnotbeallowedtogetintotheengine
circulationwithouthavingfirstgonethroughthefilter.
Forthecompleteefficiencyofthefilteritisrecommendedtooperatewiththefiltercompletewithallitsparts
andcomponents,assembledinthecorrectway.
Eachdeterioratedpartmustbereplacedassoonaspossible.
CAUTION
For the complete efficiency of the filter it is recommended to operate with the filter
complete with all its parts and components.
Each deteriorated part must be replaced as soon as possible.
It is absolutely forbidden to operate without the engine air filter.
Theenginesucksairconstantlyduringitsuse;dustparticlesenteringincirculationmaycauseseriousdamage.
