7. Install filters by hand:
Insert new safety filter (1e) carefully and seal it by hand,
making certain filter is completely seated in housing
(1g).
Repeat this step for primary filter (1e). Make sure O-ring
(1d) is installed.
8. Install service cover:
Once filter is in place, put service cover (1b) back on,
making sure Evacuator valve (1a) points in direction
shown. Fasten latches (1c). Cover should go on without
extra force.
Never use latches on cover to force filters into air
cleaner. It is tempting to assume cover will do the job of
sealing the filter – but it will not! Using latches to push
filters in could cause damage to housing and will void
warranty.
ENGINE AIR CLEANER MAINTENANCE —
TIER 4 ENGINE
See Figure 7-4 for the following procedure.
The air cleaner is mounted using lugs (7) that are fastened to
the engine air intake (6) with two rubber elbow reducers (5),
clamps (3), steel tubes (2) and straight adapter fitting (4).
Servicing the air cleaner is an important function because:
•
Clogged air cleaner filters will prevent adequate air flow
to the engine, causing poor starting and increased
exhaust emissions.
•
An improperly installed or damaged air cleaner can
allow dirty air to be drawn directly into the engine.
Either condition can cause engine damage.
Inspection
To maintain engine protection and filter service life, inspect
the following areas at regular intervals:
Daily
Check service indicator (8) with engine running. The
indicator gives a visual indication when it is time to replace
the filters.
• A yellow flag in the indicator window (8a) extends as the
filters become plugged. Replace filters when the
yellow indicator reaches the red zone at the end of
the indicator.
• The yellow flag remains locked in place after the engine
is stopped. When the filters are replaced, push button
(8b) in to reset the indicator.
Monthly
1. Inspect rubber reducers (5) between air cleaner and
engine for cracks or other damage which might allow
unfiltered air to enter the engine. Replace worn or
damaged parts.
2. Check housing (1e) for dents or other damage that may
allow unfiltered air to enter engine. Replace housing if
damaged.
3. Check for loose clamps (3). Tighten if necessary.
4. Inspect engine intake (6) for obstructions. Clean as
required.
CAUTION
Engine Damage!
STOP ENGINE before servicing air cleaner or unfiltered
air will be drawn directly into engine.
Before servicing clean fittings, remove mounting
hardware and area around component(s).
Never operate engine without air cleaner.
Replace secondary filter as quickly as possible to avoid
engine ingestion of contaminants.
Do not attempt to clean and reuse old filters. Discard old
filters and install new filters. Cleaning filter elements by
impact or compressed air voids the warranty and can
degrade or damage the filter media, leading to
malfunction.
