Air Filter – Check (Condition)
Engine performance and durability will be severely
affected if the quality of the air intake is poor.
A dirty and blocked air cleaner element will
reduce the amount of air entering the
combustion chamber which can cause engine
mis-firing, black smoke and low output power.
A dirty and blocked air filter can also lead to
abrasion of the cylinder bores and valves
(referred to as ‘dusting’). This will cause excessive
oil consumption, black smoke, low output power
and a reduced engine life.
Refer to the machine’s operator handbook
for the air filter element removal and
replacement procedures.
Inspect hoses and fittings for splits and poor
clamping which may allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine.
In hostile environments, change the air filter
elements more frequently.
Dust Valve – Check (Condition)
>
Check the dust valve for rips/tears.
>
Check there are no obstructions.
>
Check that the dust valve is free of dirt
and dust.
>
Check the dust value is securely attached
to the air filter housing.
