AIR CLEANER
This unit is equipped with an AIR FILTERS RE-
STRICTED lamp on the instrument panel, covering
both the engine and the compressor.
This should be checked daily during operation. If the
lamp glows (red) with the unit operating at full speed,
servicing of the cleaner element is necessary.
Also weekly squeeze the rubber valve (precleaner dirt
dump) on each air cleaner housing to ensure that they
are not clogged. NOTICE: Holes or cracks down-
stream of the air cleaner housing will cause the restric-
tion indicators to be ineffective.
The air filters restricted sensor will automatically reset
after the main power switch is flipped to “OFF.”
To service the air cleaners on all units proceed as fol-
lows:
1.
Loosen outer wing nut and remove with outer
element. Inspect red window on special inner
wing nut to find small dot. If dot is not visible, re-
move cotter pin and special wing nut and inner
(safety) element.
2.
Inspect air cleaner housing for any condition
that might cause a leak and correct as neces-
sary.
3.
Wipe inside of air cleaner housing with a clean,
damp cloth to remove any dirt accumulation,
especially in the area where the element seals
against the housing.
4.
Inspect element by placing a bright light inside
and rotating slowly. If any holes or tears are
found in the paper, discard this element. If no
ruptures are found, the element can be cleaned
by one of the following procedures.
5.
If a new air filter element is to be used check it
closely for shipping damage. To reset the sig-
nal indicator in the special wing nut, apply suc-
tion to the red window.
6.
Install cleaned or new elements in the reverse
order to the above. Tighten wing nuts firmly and
replace cotter pin.
7.
Inspect to ensure that the end cap seals tightly
360 degrees around the air cleaner body.
