🔌 Function

Removes airborne dust and debris from the intake stream before the air reaches the turbocharger and cylinders. Renew the filter element as required, ensure the housing and dust ejector seal correctly, and inspect the downstream intake for contamination.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• High intake restriction or air-filter warning indication
• Black smoke, reduced power or increased fuel consumption
• Collapsed, damaged or heavily contaminated filter element
• Dust tracks or dirt found downstream of the filter seal
• Cracked housing, failed dust ejector or loose intake connection

🛠️ Service Notes

• Never run the engine without the air cleaner in place — unfiltered air wears the bores and, on a turbocharged engine, will damage the compressor
• Check the element seats squarely and that the cover fasteners or clamps pull the seal down evenly all round; air that bypasses the filter does the same damage as no filter at all
• Inspect the intake hose, clamps and joints between the air cleaner and the engine for splits and looseness whenever the filter is serviced
• Do not wash or beat out a paper element to stretch its life; fit a clean element at the interval given for your engine and duty
• Keep the intake drawing the cleanest, driest air available, and make sure any dust ejector or drain is clear and positioned so it can discharge
