POWER TRAIN RT9130E-2 SERVICE MANUAL
Tier 3 Filter Element Replacement
1. Unlatch the latches, open the air cleaner body and
withdraw the element as follows (Figure 7-5):
a. RELEASE THE SEAL GENTLY. The filter element
fits tightly over the outlet tube, creating the critical
seal on the inside diameter of the filter endcap. The
filter should be removed gently to reduce the
amount of dust dislodged. There will be some initial
resistance, similar to breaking the seal on a jar.
b. AVOID DISLODGING DUST FROM THE FILTER.
Gently pull the filter off the outlet tube and out of the
housing. Avoid knocking the filter against the
housing (Figure 7-6).
2. Clean the element as outlined in ELEMENT CLEANING.
Replace the element after six cleanings or annually,
whichever comes first.
3. Inspect all parts of the intake system and air cleaner. Be
sure to clean the sealing surface of the outlet tube and
the inside of the outlet tube.
4. Install the cleaned or new element into the air cleaner
body as follows:
a. INSPECT THE FILTER FOR DAMAGE. Always
look for filter damage, even if a new filter element is
being installed. Pay special attention to the inside of
the open end (sealing area). Do not install a
damaged filter.
b. INSERT THE FILTER PROPERLY. The seal area is
on the inside of the open end of the primary filter. A
new filter has a dry lubricant to aid installation. The
critical sealing area will stretch slightly, adjust itself
and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. To
complete a tight seal, apply pressure at the outer
rim of the filter, not the flexible center. No cover
pressure is required to hold the seal (Figure 7-7).
5. Install the cover on the air cleaner body with the two
arrows pointing up. Secure the cover with the latches.
6. Check all connections and ducts for an air tight fit. Make
sure that all clamps, bolts, and connections are tight.
Check for holes in piping. Leaks in the air intake system
may send dust directly to the engine.
Air Cleaner Body
Before installing the filter element, remove foreign material
(leaves, lint or other foreign matter) that may have collected
inside the air cleaner body. Inspect the inside of the body for
dents or other damage that would interfere with air flow or
with the fins on the element or inside the body. Repair any
body dents, being careful not to damage the sealing
surfaces. Be sure to clean the sealing surface of the outlet
tube and the inside of the outlet tube, taking care not to
damage the sealing area on the tube.
CAUTION
Never service the air cleaner while the engine is running.
