excessive water when the engine is cleaned.
Pressure wa
shers and steam cleaners should not be
directed at any electrical connectors or the junction of
cables into the rear of the connectors. Avoid electrical
components
such as the alternator, the starter, and
the ECM. Protect the fuel injection pump from fluids
in order to wash the engine.

Engine Air C lean er Element
(Dual Eleme nt) - Clean/Replace
NOTICE
Never run the engine without an air cleaner element
insta
lled. Never run the engine with a damaged air
cleaner element. Do not use air cleaner elements with
damaged pleats, gaskets or seals. Dirt entering the
engin
e causes premature wear and damage to engine
components. Air cleaner elements help to prevent air-
borne debris from entering the air inlet.
NOTICE
Never service the air cleaner element with the engine
running since this will allow dirt to enter the engine.
Servicing the Air Cleaner Elements
Note: The air filter system may not have been
provided by Perkins. The procedure that follows
is for a typical air filter system. Refer to the OEM
information for the correct procedure.
If the air cleaner element becomes plugged, the air
can split the material of the air cleaner element.
Unfiltered air will drastically accelerate internal
engine wear. Refer to the OEM information for the
correct air cleaner elements for your application.
•
Check the precl
eaner (if equipped) and the dust
bowl daily for accumulation of dirt and debris.
Remove any dirt and debris, as needed.
•
Operating in dirty conditions may require more
frequent service of the air cleaner element.
•
The air cleaner element should be replaced at least
one time per year. This replacement should be
performed r
egardless of the number of cleanings.
Replace the dirty air cleaner elements with clean air
cleaner ele
ments. Before installation, the air cleaner
elements should be thoroughly checked for tears
and/or holes in the filter material. Inspect the gasket
or the seal
of the air cleaner element for damage.
Maintain a supply of suitable air cleaner elements
for replacement purposes.
Dual Element Air C leaners
The dual e
lement air cleaner contains a primary air
cleaner element and a secondary air cleaner element.
The prim
ary air cleaner element can be used up
to six times if the element is properly cleaned and
properly inspected. The primary air cleaner element
should b
e replaced at least one time per year. This
replacement should be performed regardless of the
number of cleanings.
The secondary air cleaner element is not serviceable.
Refer to the OEM information for instructions in order
to repl
ace the secondary air cleaner element.
When the engine is operating in environments that
are du
sty or dirty, air cleaner elements may require
more frequent replacement.
