Air cleaner
Air cleaner
Never start the engine without the air filter in po-
sition. Without the air filter, there is a risk of dirt
being sucked into the engine.
The engine turbocharger will continue to rotate
and take in air for a time, even after the engine
has stopped. Therefore, wait for a few minutes
before opening the air cleaner.
Renew the filter element before the maintenance
interval if the vacuum indicator shows red or
emits a signal.
The filter element must not be cleaned in water
or be blown clean with compressed air. There is
always a risk that the filter element will be dam-
aged when it is cleaned.
Reading the vacuum indicator

If the mechanical vacuum indicator's red plunger
is fully visible, renew the air cleaner filter ele-
ment in accordance with the following section.
Electric vacuum indicator
The engine may also be fitted with an electric
vacuum indicator. It is connected to the machine
interface and indicates with a warning lamp or
another signal. See the next section for renewing
the air cleaner filter element.
