Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance
of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be
prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any
compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
The crankcase breather plays a major role in keeping your engine emissions compliant.
• The crankcase breather filter element (605129049610) and O-ring (42160512904961) must be replaced every 1500
hours to ensure correct operation of the engine.
• Genuine filter element (605129049610) protects the engine from excessive quantities of oil from entering the induction
system. The filter element also protects the engine aftertreatment system.
Excessive quantities of oil that enter the induction system of the engine can
rapidly increase the engine speed without control.
