Monitoring the Air Cleaner
Monitoring the Air Cleaner
- Ops
The engine is equipped with an engine-mounted air cleaner that is flat in design to accommodate various vehicle packages. Replace dry-type air cleaner elements when the maximum allowable air intake restriction has been reached.
- Check the air cleaner restriction gauge (filter minder) daily. Refer to section “Air Cleaner Inspection” in the vehicle’s maintenance manual.
- Check the gaskets for deterioration and replace, if necessary.
- Inspect the entire air system daily 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. Re-tighten loose connections.
