AIR CLEANER
See Figure 7-3 for the following procedures.
The air cleaner is mounted using lugs (7) to the engine.
Rubber elbow reducers (5), clamps (3), steel tube (2) and a
straight adapter fitting (4) are part of the mounting assembly.
Service the air cleaner to avoid engine damage:
•
Clogged air cleaner filters prevent adequate air flow to
the engine, causing poor starting and increased exhaust
emissions.
•
Improperly installed or damaged air cleaners can allow
dirty air directly into the engine.
Inspection
To maintain engine protection and filter service life, inspect
the following areas at regular intervals.
Daily
Check the service indicator (8) with the engine running. The
indicator gives a visual indication when it is time to replace
the filters:
• A yellow flag in the indicator window (8a) rotates as the
filters are 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
stops. After replacing the filters, push the button (8b) in
to reset the indicator.
Monthly
Perform the following inspections monthly:
1. Inspect the rubber reducers (5) between the air cleaner
and engine for cracks or other damage that might allow
unfiltered air to enter the engine. Replace worn or
damaged parts.
2. Check the housing (1e) for dents or other damage that
may allow unfiltered air to enter engine. Replace the
housing if damaged.
3. Check for loose clamps (3). Tighten clamps if necessary.
4. Inspect the engine intake (6) for obstructions. Clean the
intake as required.
Filter Replacement
Service the air cleaner and its primary and secondary filter
elements at the intervals specified by the engine manufac-
turer per the engine manufacturer’s instructions. An illustra-
tion of these instructions is located on the air filter cover (see
Figure 7-3
).
Replace the primary filter only when the red flag locks in
place at the top of the service indicator.
NOTE: Replace the secondary element every 3rd time the
primary element is replaced
To replace a filter, use the following procedure:
1. Wipe any accumulated dirt, grease, or other foreign
material from the outside surface of the air cleaner
assembly to prevent contamination when opening the air
cleaner or integral pre-cleaner assemblies.
Do not allow foreign matter to enter the housing, tubing
or air inlet hole to the engine.
2. Refer to the engine manufacturer’s instructions to open,
service, and close the air cleaner or integral pre-cleaner
assemblies.
CAUTION
Engine Damage!
Stop the engine before servicing the air cleaner or
unfiltered air will be drawn directly into the engine.
Before servicing, clean all fittings, mounting hardware and
the area around the component(s) to be removed.
Never operate the engine without the air cleaner.
Replace the 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 the filter elements
by impact or compressed air voids the warranty and can
degrade or damage the filter media, leading to
malfunction.
CAUTION
Engine Damage!
Stop the engine before servicing the air cleaner, or
unfiltered air will be drawn directly into the engine.
Do not attempt to clean and reuse old filters. Discard old
filters and install new ones.
