Removal & Refitment of Air Cleaner A. AIR CLEANER All air entering the engine must pass through the air cleaner before entering the inlet manifold and cylinders. To provide an engine with clean and adequate volume of air, is of utmost importance. The entire system is so designed that even in extreme dusty conditions and low Engine R.P.M. the engine is not starved of dust free air. In this Engine, Dry Type Air Cleaner is placed horizontally in front of radiator. The curved blades on the periphery of precleaner shield direct the entering air to take a spiral path. On entering the body tube, due to this motion of air, bigger impure particles are thrown away rapidly from the body tube. After passing from hopper slot, they fall in the dust collector. The precleaned air then passes through paper filter element before entering the engine. A safety cartridge is provided within the boundaries of paper element. This can filter particles upto 120µ and is of use only in case of any leakage or rupture of paper element. Also paper element is removed for cleaning. A mechanical filter clog indicator is provided which is mounted on air cleaner itself. Whenever red band of the clog indicator becomes visible, the air cleaner needs to be cleaned. NOTE:
Never remove cartridge when paper element is removed for cleaning.
