Cleaning air filter housing
Note
♦
The reading of the drawn in air mass shown on the air mass
meter, may be incorrect due to heavy soiling or moisture. This
results in a reduction of engine power output, because a lower
injection quantity is calculated.
♦
Observe the disposal instructions!
– Check air mass meter as well as air intake hose (on the side
of the fresh air) for salt residues, dirt and leaves.
– Check water drain hose in air filter bottom part for contamina‐
tion or blockage and clean if required.
– Clean air filter housing (top part and bottom part) from salt
residues, dirt and leaves; to do so use an extraction device if
required.
Note
Please follow the following notes when blowing out the air filter
housing with compressed air: Cover critical air-conveying parts
with a clean rag to prevent impairments to their function.
