3 Air cleaner cleaning and replacement
CAUTION
Clean the air cleaner element at the specified
interval. Failure to follow this instruction will
result in premature accumulation of PM in the
DPF and eventually cause the systems to mal-
function. On the contrary, unnecessarily fre-
quent cleaning can damage the air cleaner
element, allowing dust and other foreign matter
to be drawn into the engine.
NOTE:
Even if the cleaning interval has not elapsed, clean
or replace the element if clogging of the element
causes a drop in engine output.
