AIR fIlTER
(fig.56/D Pos.”1”)
Cartridge Cleaning / Replacement
An air filter in poor conditions can cause a reduction in power,
excessive fuel consumption and shorten engine life.
Filter clogging is signalled by an indicator light found on the left
dashboard (fig.63/D Pos.”1”); once the indicator light switches
on the vehicle can be used for a maximum of 10 hours.
Maintenance must however be carried out as often as described.
Filter cleaning should be carried out with compressed air at
maximum of 3 Bar and at a distance not less than 150mm,
taking due caution to not damage components.
Use a wet cloth which will not leave residue to clean the box
and cover.
For correct cleaning:
1. Stop the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
2. Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key, hang up
a sign in the cab that reads “maintenance work under way”.
3. Open and lock the bonnet.
4. Pull towards you the locking levers (fig. 57/D Pos.”1”), loca -
ted at the four corners of the filter cover (fig. 56/D Pos.”2”) .
5. Remove the cover (fig.56/D Pos.”2”).
6. Push the internal handle (fig.58/D Pos.”1”) toward the
cab (as indicated by the arrow) and pull it upward to ex-
tract the secondary filter.
7. Slide the paper filter (fig.59/D Pos.”1”) from the support, tur -
ning downward and over the part with a gasket. Keep one
hand under it to prevent it from falling and being ruined.
8. Remove the primary filter (fig.60/D Pos.”1”), pulling the
extraction flap toward the (fig.60/D Pos.”2”) side or the
central plastic (fig.60/D Pos.”3”).
9. Clean and replace filters and remount them following the
same instructions in the opposite order.
- attEntion
Clean filters only when the indicator light signals clogging or
at scheduled maintenance intervals. Unnecessary, frequent
cleaning exposes components to handling damage which
can allow dust and dirt to pass into the filtering phases, cau -
sing damage to the engine.
- attEntion
Filtration components which come into contact with any type of
liquid will have to be replaced.
Regularly check the suction sleeves and replace them imme-
diately if worn or damaged. Regularly check that bolts and
clamps are properly tightened. No air should be allowed to
enter the engine without having first passed through the filter.
