6.3 Maintaining the Air Cleaner
Prerequisite Machine is stopped
When Evacuator valve (f) : Open once a week under ordinary operating conditions. When the
machine is operated in extremely dusty conditions, open the evacuator valve daily.
Air cleaner elements
(b,c) : Clean every 250 hours.
Replace the air cleaner elements every 6 cleanings, or annually, depending on which
comes first. Replace the elements more often if they are damaged or heavily soiled.
Description The air cleaner assembly consists of a primary filter element (c) and a secondary filter
element (b) housed inside the air cleaner body (a) . A snap-on dust cup (d) secures the filter
elements and contains a dust ejecting evacuator valve (f) .
Procedure Follow the procedure below to clean the air cleaner.
1. Squeeze the evacuator valve to open it and dislodge any large particles of dust and dirt.
2. Lift the retaining clamps and remove the dust cup.
3. Remove the primary filter element from the air cleaner body. Leave the secondary filter
element in place.
4. Using compressed air (maximum pressure 205 kPA (30 psi)), blow through the filter
elements from the inside as you rotate them.
5. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner body and dust cup with a clean, dry cloth.
6. Re-install the primary element inside the air cleaner body.
7. Re-install the dust cup and secure it with the retaining clamps.
Note: When re-installing the dust cup, make sure that the “TOP” mark (e) is in the upward
position.
Maintenance Periodically, make sure the inlet pipe is free from obstructions.
Check all connections and make sure they are snug. An air leak at the neck clamp,
gauge connection, or intake pipe can quickly lead to engine damage.
If the filter housing, gauge connection, neck, or inlet pipe are crushed or damaged,
replace them immediately.
