3. INSPECTION OF EACH PART
1) Inspection of the cleaner body
(1) Check the cleaner exterior for cracks,
deformation,or damage and repair or replace
if necessary.
(2) Check each packing for fatigue or damage
and replace if necessary.
2) Inspection of rubber hoses
Check the rubber hoses for fatigue or damage
and replace if necessary.
3) Inspection of the paper element to check
Note:
Especially note the glue portions of the paper and
metal parts.
4. CLEANING THE AIR CLEANER
Clean the air cleaner after 100 hours of operation or
less depending on conditions in the following manner.
1) When the air cleaner is cleaned or the element is
replaced,dust accumulated inside the air cleaner body
should be removed with a cloth.As inhaled dust causes
engine wear,remove a dust accumulated inside the inlet
pipe,the rubber hose which connects in the inlet pipe
and the air cleaner,the inlet manifold,and inlet port.
(1)When accumulated dust is dry.
-When removing the dust in the element,hold the
element by a hand and pat the side wall with other
hand. Never hit the element against a stone or a
concrete wall because that might cause its side wall
to peel off.
-apply compressed air from inside of the element to
blow dust off while turning the element by hand.
3) Inspection of the paper element to check
the element for damage,Dry it sufficiently
after washing and put an electric bulb in to
the element and look for damage.
FIG.3-12 Element check
Note:
The compressed air to be applied should not
have a pressure of more than 7㎏/㎠(99.6psi)
Maintain sufficient distance between the air gun
and the element.
(2)When accumulated dust is oily.
-Use a solution of TC 101 element detergent
or the quality household neutral detergent.
Leave the element in the solution for
approximately 30 minutes and then wash it by
dipping it in and out of the solution.
