ENGINE AIR CLEANER
Oil Bath Type
A heavy duty, oil bath air cleaner filters all of the air enter-
ing the engine. Excessive restriction of the air intake system
reduces the flow of air to the engine affecting horsepower
output, fuel consumption and engine life.
The air cleaner removes abrasive material from the air
entering the engine. The air cleaner must be kept clean and
open so that the air can pass freely. If the oil has absorbed
the maximum amount of dirt, it allows the dirt to enter the
engine. Remove the oil cup, wash thoroughly and dry every
1000 operating hours (500 hours under dusty conditions).
Refill using the same weight oil used in the engine crank-
case. Inspect the cleaner body and wash in solvent when it
becomes dirty
Oil Bath Air Cleaner
Dry Type (Optional)
A dry element air cleaner filters all of the air entering the
engine. Excessive restriction of the air intake system affects
horsepower, fuel consumption and engine life. Inspect the
element at regular unit service intervals.
