Air Intake System Air Cleaner The important function of the air cleaner is to filter the air entering into combustion chamber so that no dust or chaff etc. enters the engine to cause abrasion and excessive wear. Thus it is most important that the air cleaner should have regular maintenance to continually and efficiently protect the engine from dust and other harmful substances. The air cleaner comprises of the following parts: Body Air-Cleaner This serves as the main frame for housing all parts associated with the air cleaner system. Cyclopack or built-in Pre-Cleaner The coarse dust particles are separated by the curved blades of the Cyclopack (A) and get collected in the dust collector. Paper Element Filter Paper element filter (B) screens the fine impurities. This has to be cleaned by compressed air during every service or earlier if required. The filter should be replaced after every 2 cleanings or 900 hrs. or earlier if required. Safety Cartridge Safety cartridge (C) fits inside the paper element filter. It is a safeguard against uncontrolled dust entry into engine due to paper filter element rupture and also when the paper element is removed for cleaning Dust Collector Bowl (D) It collects the dust and releases it automatically. The following are the service instructions for the Air Cleaner assembly : 1. Check functioning of auto unloader of the dust collector regularly. 2. Paper element of air cleaner should be cleaned with compressed air every 300 hrs. or earlier if required. 3. Paper element of air cleaner should be replaced after every 2 cleanings or 900 hrs. or even earlier if required. 4. Safety Cartridge should be replaced after every 900 hrs. or earlier if required. 5. Assemble the air cleaner and refit the same on the Tractor ensuring all joints to be leak-proof. 6. After ensuring all fittings to be O.K., start the Tractor. NOTE : During every service of dry type air cleaner, the paper element should be cleaned with compressed air directed from inside to outside. Even after this if the element is found choked, replace it with a new one. Do not use dirty or damaged paper element as the impure air may severely reduce the engine performance/ life.
