SERIES 60 ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE
Replace the element, if necessary.
Check the gaskets for deterioration
and replace, if necessary. If the dry
type air cleaner is equipped with an
aspirator, check for aspirator damage
or clogging. Clean, repair or replace,
as necessary.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the air inlet restriction to
exceed 20 in. H
2
O (5.0 kPa) under
any engine operating conditions.
A clogged air cleaner element will
cause excessive intake restriction
and reduced air supply to the
engine resulting in increased fuel
consumption, inefficient engine
operation and reduced engine life.
Inspect the entire air system for leaks
daily. Look especially for torn air inlet
piping or boots and loose or damaged
clamps. Have worn or damaged parts
repaired or replaced, as required.
Retighten loose connections.
Air Cleaner Replacement —
Dry
type air cleaner elements should be
replaced after one year of service or
when the maximum allowable air
intake restriction has been reached,
whichever comes first. Refer to When
to Service the Dry Type Air Cleaner in
this guide for additional information.
Item 11 – Lubricating Oil Filters
For on-highway vehicle engines,
install new spin-on oil filters at a
maximum of 15,000 miles (24,000
km). For city transit coach engines,
install filters at a maximum of 6,000
miles (9,600 km). For industrial
engines, install filters every 250 hours
of operation or each time the engine
oil is changed, whichever comes first.
Install the new filters, turning them
until they contact the gasket fully with
no side movement. Turn full-flow
filters an additional 2/3 turn by
hand, or as indicated on the filter.
See Figure 17.
