Since the air cleaner employed on this engine is a dry
type, never apply oil to it.
1. Open the evacuator valve once a week under
ordinary conditions - or daily when used in a dusty
place. This will get rid of large particles of dust and
dirt.
2. Wipe the inside air cleaner clean with cloth if it is dirty
or wet.
3. Avoid touching the primary element except when
cleaning.
4. When dry dust adheres to the element, blow
compressed air from the inside turning the element.
Pressure of compressed air must be under 205 kPa
(2.1 kgf/cm
2
, 30 psi).
5. Replace the primary element every year or every 6
cleanings. If the primary element is stained heavily,
replace it soon. At this time, replace the secondary
element too.
6. The secondary element should be removed only if it
is to be replaced.
7. To protect the engine, do not remove the secondary
element in servicing the primary element.
A Make sure the hooking clip for the element is tight
enough. If it is loose, dust and dirt may be sucked in,
wearing down the cylinder liner and piston ring
earlier and thereby resulting in poor power output.
A Do not overservice the air cleaner element.
Overservicing may cause dirt to enter the engine
causing premature wear. Use the dust indicator as a
guide on when to service.
BCleaning primary air filter element
1. To clean the element, use clean dry compressed air
on the inside of the element.
Air pressure at the nozzle must not exceed 205 kPa
(2.1 kgf/cm
2
, 30 psi).
Maintain reasonable distance between the nozzle
and the filter.
2. To wash the elements, use Donaldson ND-1500
Filter Cleaner, or its equivalent, which is especially
effective on oily and soot-laden filters.
Follow instructions that are supplied with the filter
cleaner.
BEvacuator valve
Open the evacuator valve once a week under ordinary
conditions - or daily when used in a dusty place - to get
rid of large particles of dust and dirt.
BFor the air cleaner with a dust cup
(optional)
Remove and clean out the dust cup before it becomes
half full with dust; usually once a week, or even every
day if the working surroundings are dusty.
Install the air cleaner dust cup with "TOP" indicated on
the rear of the cup in the up position. (However, it may
be installed in either direction when the cover is placed
at the lower part.)
A If the dust cup is mounted incorrectly, dust or dirt
does not collect in the cup, and direct attachments of
the dust to the element will cause its lifetime to
shorten to a great extent.
