Functional Inspection

The rotor spins very fast and should
continue to turn when the engine has
stopped.
To check rotor rotation:
1. Stop the engine after it is warm.
2. Listen for a whirring sound from the
rotor or check if the cleaner housing is
vibrating.
• The rotor normally continues spinning
for 30 - 60 seconds after the engine
has stopped.
• If the rotor does not spin for 30 - 60
seconds after the engine has stopped,
disassemble it and inspect the parts
for damage.
