C2500CB-OM-EN-16
Note
Clean and dry the area around the filter housing thoroughly. Contamination
must be avoided. Block off the engine air intake if necessary.
Air contaminated with dust entering the engine will cause damage and
reduce performance.
Never run the engine if parts of the air intake system are removed. Replace
damaged air filter system parts immediately.
V-belt Tension Adjustment Procedure:
Loosen the alternator mounting bolts and adjust the alternator position.
Tighten the mounting bolts and recheck the belt tension.
Adjust until the specified deflection is achieved.
6.11 Air Filter System
The truck is equipped with a dry air filter for filtering the engine intake air. The dry air
filter consists of a single main filter element. An optional safety filter element may be
fitted if required.
The dry air filter should be maintained in accordance with the maintenance schedule,
however more frequent maintenance will be required if the truck is operating in high
dust applications.
To Service the Air Filter
1. Park the truck in accordance with the
recommended parking procedure.
2. The air filter (
A
) is mounted on top of
the bonnet to the right hand side of
the truck.
3. Inspect the air intake hose (
B
) for
cracks or other damage and repair or
replace as necessary. Inspect all
connections and clamps and ensure
they are tightly sealed. Any leaks here
will admit dust directly to the engine.
Caution
Switch off the engine before working on the air filter system.
Do not touch the engine, exhaust system, or cooling system immediately
after stopping the engine.
Wait until the engine has cooled to the point that the exhaust system,
engine, and cooling system are comfortable to touch.
