1 Park the machine on firm, level ground and stop the

engine. If the vehicle has a manually operated load

bay, remove the starter key.

2 Raise the load bay. If your vehicle has an electric

tipper, ensure that the starter key is removed.

3 Undo the two retaining clips 6-A holding the cover

and remove the element. Do not tap or knock the

element as you remove it.

4 Clean the inside of the canister 6-B and dust valve 6-

5 Prior to fitting a new element, smear the seal on the

end of the element with grease. Temporarily insert the

filter element into the canister ensuring its correct

location. Withdraw the element and check that there

is a continuous grease witness mark around the base

of the canister. This shows that the canister has not

been distorted which would allow unfiltered air to

bypass the element. Refit the element and cover.

Check all air hoses for condition and security.
