IMPORTANT :
• Clean
the air cleaner element regularly or
foreign materials will accumulate, which will
shorten the DPF filter cleaning interval (3000
hours).
The quickest and safest method of maintenance is the
exchange of the element. However, there are different
methods for cleaning the element.
Cleaning with compressed air
1. Blow the element clean from the inside to the
outside until the dust deposits are noticeably
reduced.
Keep the pressure of compressed air as follows.
Pressure of compressed air Under 205 kPa (2.1 kgf/ cm
2
)
IMPORTANT :
• If
the air suction is still inadequate or the color
of the exhaust gases is abnormal even after the
cleaning, replace the air-cleaner-element.
• Do not tap-clean the element. The element may
get deformed, which may adversely affect the
air cleaner performance.
5. Cleaning the evacuator valve

• While cleaning, foreign matters may drop out of
the evacuator valve.
1. Open the rear door and engine hood.

3. From behind the dust-cover, remove foreign matter
from the evacuator valve.
