14000 SERVICE MANUAL POWER TRAIN
7
Current Production - Tier 3/4
See Figure 7-5 for the following procedure.
The air cleaner is mounted horizontally and fastened to
engine air intake (6) with steel tube (9) and reducer (4).
Servicing the air cleaner is an important maintenance
function:
• Clogged air cleaner filters will prevent adequate air flow
to the engine, causing poor starting and increased
exhaust emissions.
• An improperly installed or damaged air cleaner can
allow dirty air to be drawn directly into the engine.
Either condition can cause engine damage.
Inspection
To maintain engine protection and filter service life, inspect
the following areas at regular intervals:
Daily
Check service indicator (8) with the engine running. The
indicator gives a visual indication when it is time to replace
the filters.
• A yellow flag in indicator window (8a) extends as the
filters become plugged. Replace filters when yellow
indicator reaches red zone at end of indicator.
• The yellow flag remains locked in place after the engine
is stopped. When the filters are replaced, push button
(8b) in to reset the indicator.
Monthly
1. Inspect rubber fitting (4) between air cleaner and engine
for cracks or other damage which might allow unfiltered
air to enter engine. Replace worn or damaged parts.
2. Check housing (1g) for dents or other damage that may
allow unfiltered air to enter the engine. Replace housing
if damaged.
3. Check for loose clamps (3) and bands (7). Tighten loose
parts.
4. Inspect inlet cap (2) for obstructions. Clean as required.
Service
1. Remove Service Cover Carefully:
Unlatch and remove service cover (1b). The air cleaner
has two filters: primary (1d) and secondary (1e). The
filters should be removed gently to reduce the amount of
dust dislodged. There will be some initial resistance,
similar to breaking the seal on a jar. Using tabs on filters,
move end of primary filter back and forth to break seal.
2. Avoid Dislodging Dust from Filters:
Using tabs, gently pull primary filter (1d) out of housing
(1e). Avoid knocking filter against housing.
Pull on the plastic ring tabs to remove secondary filter
(1e).
NOTE: The secondary element should be replaced every
third time the primary element is replaced. Inspect
the secondary element and replace as necessary.
3. Clean Sealing Surfaces in Housing:
Use a clean cloth to wipe clean sealing surfaces and
inside of housing. Dust on sealing surfaces could render
seal ineffective and cause leakage. Ensure all
contamination is removed before new filters are
installed.
4. Clean Inside of Outlet Tube:
Carefully wipe inside of outlet tube with a clean cloth.
Dirt accidentally transferred to inside of outlet tube will
reach the engine and cause wear (engine
manufacturers say that it takes only a few grams of dirt
to destroy an engine). Be careful not to damage sealing
area of tube.
CAUTION
Engine Damage!
STOP ENGINE before servicing air cleaner, or unfiltered
air will be drawn directly into the engine.
Before servicing clean the fittings, mounting hardware
and the area around the component(s) to be removed.
Never operate the engine without an air cleaner.
Replace secondary filter as quickly as possible to avoid
engine ingestion of contaminants.
Do not attempt to clean and reuse old filters. Discard old
filters and install new filters. Cleaning filter elements by
impact or compressed air voids the warranty and can
degrade or damage the filter media leading to
malfunction.
