3.2 Check air cleaner (activate the dust discharge valve to loosen accumulated dust)
The maintenance of the air cleaner is made up of the substitution
of the filtering elements and should be done only when the
maintenance indicator indicates the saturation of the element.
The cleaning of the main and safety filtering elements is not
recommended. The re-utilization of the filtering elements can
result in deficient filtering of the air and cause serious damage to
the engine.
When washing the engine, conveniently protect the air inlet with a
plastic or similar material to avoid the infiltration of water to the
air filtering element. After washing the engine, remove the
protection from the air inlet.
Periodically press the dust discharge valve with your hand, in order
to incomplete the dust which possibly be caught in the internal
part maintaining them clear.
At the same time, check clip connecting rubber hose of air intake
system with steel tube in case of dust entering air intake system
due to looseness and decrease in engine life.
The air cleaner restriction is electronically controlled.
If the indication of saturated air cleaner appears in the display of
digital indicator in combination instrument, send the vehicle to a
King-Long Dealer or authorized workshop to inspect and clean
the air intake system and substitute the main filtering element.
Indication:
(1) The main filtering element of the air filter should be
substitutes after maximum 2 years use.
(2) The safety filtering element (optional) should be changed at every third main filtering element substitution,
or after maximum 2 years of use.
