Chapter 8 PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Air Cleaner Element - Clean, Check and Replace
When handling compressed air, wear safety goggles, a dust mask, a hardhat, gloves and other necessary protec-
tive gears. Working without wearing proper protective gear could result in serious injuries.
Never service the air cleaner while the engine is running. Servicing the pre-cleaner while the engine is running can
cause particles of foreign material to enter the engine and it results in rapid wear of parts, leading to a shorter ser-
vice life of the engine. Never tap or hit the air cleaner element.
And also, do not wash the air cleaner element.
If defects such as a cut, pinhole or local wear are found in the element, or if the air cleaner indicator shows a red
sign soon after the cleaned element is installed, change it with a new one. Remove the air cleaner slowly to pre-
vent foreign materials accumulated on the element from falling off.
After removing the air cleaner, immediately cover the air inlet with plastic sheet or similar means to prevent foreign
materials from entering the engine.
