During engine operation, the indicator shows the vacuum in inches of H

O and kPa. As dirt accumulates in the
filter, the restriction increases.

of H
2
O (6.20 kPa) and window (B) shows red, the filter
requires servicing.
IMPORTAN T:
Over-servic
ing the filter element increases the risk of dirt
being inges
ted by the engine, and severely damaging the
engine.
Service air filter ONLY IF indicator (A) reads 25 inches H
2
O
(6.20 kPa) and/or indicator (B) shows red.
