Cleaning/replacement of air filter
WARNING
The air filter contains large amounts of dust
particles.
Danger of breathing problems!
Protective mask must be worn for all work on the
air intake system. Do not breath in the dust particles.
Consider the surrounding environment when the work is done.
Great risk of engine damage if the air filter has been damaged.
BE CAREFUL
There is a great danger of damaging the filter when
cleaning it. The filter may be cleaned a maximum
of four times per year. After cleaning, the filter has
worse filtering ability than a new filter.
BE CAREFUL
Do not clean the filter using pressurised air from
the inside. All maintenance of the air intake
system must be done with the engine switched
off. This is a dry filter element and it must not be
cleaned with wet fluids.
NOTE
All maintenance of the air intake system must be done with the engine
switched off. Do not clean the inside of the filter housing with
pressurised air, use a damp cloth.
