MAINTENANCE
SERVICE PROCEDURE
WHEN REQUIRED
CHECK, CLEAN, OR REPLACE AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
WARNING
If inspection, cleaning, or maintenance is carried out with the engine running, dirt will get into the engine and damage it.
Always stop the engine before carrying out these operations.
When using compressed air, there is danger that dirt may be blown around and cause serious injury.
Always use protective glasses, dust mask, and other protective equipment.
CHECKING
If air cleaner clogging caution lamp (1) on the machine monitor
lights up, clean the air cleaner element.
NOTICE
Do not clean the element until the air cleaner clogging caution lamp lights
up.
If the element is cleaned frequently before the air cleaner clogging caution
lamp lights up, the air cleaner will not be able to display its performance
fully and the cleaning efficiency will drop.
In addition, the frequency of dirt stuck to the element falling inside the
inner element will increase.
It is also possible to check the condition of the air cleaner by using
the dust indicator installed to the air cleaner.
If the yellow piston in the dust indicator display portion enters the
red (7.5 kPa (0.0765 kg/cm
2
, 1.1 PSI)) position, clean the element.
