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 earlier than the mainte-
nance interval if the vacuum indicator shows red.
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 vacuum indicator's red plunger is fully vis-
ible, renew the air cleaner filter element in ac-
cordance with the following section.
