5.4 Air filter
The filter elements will be damaged if they are washed or brushed out!
Bear in mind the following to avoid premature engine wear or damage:
☞Never let the engine run without the air filter installed.
☞Do not clean the filter elements.
☞Replace the filter elements according to the maintenance plan.
☞Never reuse damaged filter elements.
☞Ensure cleanliness when replacing the filter elements!
☞The filter cartridge A must be replaced as specified in the maintenance plan:
Filter cartridges degrade prematurely when in service in acidic air for longer
periods of time. This risk is present, for example, in acid production facilities,
steel and aluminum mills, chemical plants and other nonferrous-metal plants
☞Replace the filter cartridge A after 50 hours run at the latest!
For applications in especially dusty environment, replace or clean the air filter
more frequently.

ately repair or replace if necessary
