Filter Element Replacement
1.
Lift the clips (1) (Figure 7-4) securing the cover to the air
cleaner body and remove the cover.
2.
Remove Primary Filter from the Air Cleaner and inspect
for foreign material and marks of dust. Replace as
necessary
3.
Remove Secondary Filter (not shown) from behind the
Primary Filter. Replace Secondary Filter every third time
the Primary Filter is change.
4.
Thoroughly clean the sealing surface and inside of the
air filter housing. Inspect all parts of the intake system
and air cleaner.
5.
Place the cover back on the air cleaner housing and
secure with clips (1).
6.
Check all connections and ducts for an air tight fit. Make
sure that all clamps, bolts, and connections are tight.
Check for holes in piping. Leaks in the air intake system
may send dust directly to the engine.
Element Cleaning
It is not recommended that filter elements be cleaned.
Cummins and most other manufacturers will not warrant a
cleaned air filter.
Air Cleaner Body
Before installing the filter element, remove foreign material
(leaves, lint or other foreign matter) that may have collected
inside the air cleaner body. Inspect the inside of the body for
dents or other damage that would interfere with air flow or
with the fins on the element or inside the body. Repair any
body dents, being careful not to damage the sealing
surfaces. Be sure to clean the sealing surface of the outlet
tube and the inside of the outlet tube, taking care not to
damage the sealing area on the tube.
Precleaner
The precleaner (1, Figure 7-5) prevents large debris from
entering the air cleaner and should be cleaned periodically,
especially when working in severe dust conditions. Remove
the top half of the precleaner by releasing the two latches on
the sides of the precleaner. Remove all debris from inside
precleaner and reassemble.
Vacuator Valve
Vacuator valves (2, Figure 7-5) (Figure 7-6) are designed to
expel loose dust and dirt from the air cleaner body
automatically, thus lengthening the element service life. The
valve lips must point straight down and be kept free from
debris to operate effectively. Mud and chaff can lodge in
these lips periodically and hold them open during engine
operation.
CAUTION
Never service the air cleaner while the engine is running.
