MAINTENANCE

Filters

Filters remove impurities such as dust particles
from fuel, engine oil and air starter system. While it
is important to use clean fuel, engine oil and air
supply, filters must be changed regularly to ensure
maximum engine performance and extend the ser-
vice life of the engine.
Refer to "Periodic Maintenance Chart" (5-1) for the
procedure for changing filters. The interval of
changing filters can be shortened depending on the
usage and operating conditions as well as quality of
fuel and oil in use.
When replacing filters, use genuine Mitsubishi
parts.
Do not wash and reuse cartridge-type filters.
Always use new filters.
When filters are changed, inspect the removed fil-
ters for metal particles. If metal particles are found,
consult a Mitsubishi dealer.
Electrical Parts
Do not splash water on electrical parts. Water can
cause electrical leakage and short-circuiting, result-
ing in equipment damage. Wet electrical parts can
also cause electric shock.
When cleaning the engine, keep water away from
electrical parts.
If malfunctioning of electrical parts is suspected,
consult a Mitsubishi dealer.
Also, do not use disassembled or reassembled
electrical parts.
