Introduction
Engine performance and durability will be severely
affected if the quality of the air intake is poor.
A dirty and blocked air cleaner element will reduce
the amount of air entering the combustion chamber
which can cause engine mis-firing, black smoke and
low output power.
A dirty and blocked air filter can also lead to abrasion
of the cylinder bores and valves (referred to as
dusting). This will cause excessive oil consumption,
black smoke, low output power and a reduced engine
life.
In hostile environments, change the air filter
elements more frequently.
In some applications, an air filter pre-cleaner can be
installed.
