(IV) Air Intake System
The status of air intake system will affect the life and performance
of the engine and the air compressor to a great extent. It is
recommended to use one air filter for both air compressor and the
engine and clean and maintain it frequently.
Dirty filter element will cause insufficient air intake of engine and air
compressor leading to decreased power of the engine and then to
engine failure finally. In addition, damaged filter element will cause
abraded cylinder and air valve mechanism of engine and air
compressor leading to increased oil consumption and decreased
output of the engine and then to shortened service life of both
machines finally.
For the air filter for diesel engine, please maintain it as specified for
that on vehicle in “
Regular Technical Maintenance
”.
