Never run the engine without an air cleaner element

Servicing the Air Cleaner Element
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 air cleaner service indicator daily.
• Check the pre-cleaner (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.
