Air Cleaner - MASSEY FERGUSON 410 Operators Instruction Book

Air cleaner

Dry air cleaner (unloader valve)
Check the unloader valve - Flexible maintenance. If
the tractor is not fitted with an air pre-cleaner check
the unloader valve (1,Fig. 93). Squeeze the valve
with the fingers to release the accumulated dust.
Clean the MAIN element - Flexible maintenance or
when the indicator light comes on.
Change the MAIN element every 1000 hours or
sooner if it is determined unfit for service.
CAUTION: Never use petrol (gasoline),
paraffin or cleaning solvents to clean
the elements.
*DO NOT attempt to blow the main element clean
using the tractor exhaust gases.
*DO NOT attempt to clean the inner secondary
element.
*NEVER add oil to a dry air cleaner.
*If servicing is not carried out when the indicator
light comes on the engine will lose power and
damage could be caused.
If the air cleaner indicator light comes on when the
engine is running, stop the engine and service the
air cleaner. To remove filter:
Pull open front grill and remove wing nut. Pivot filter
housing out, filter can now be accessed for removal
(Fig. 91-92 )
1. Unscrew the central wing nut (Fig. 93) and withdraw
the main outer element (2).
2. If dust is present inside the outer element, it must
be renewed. If satisfactory, clean the element by
tapping both ends on the palm of the hand (Fig. 94).
DO NOT tap the element against a hard surface as
it will become damaged or distorted.
3. Alternatively, to remove dust, compressed air (Fig.
95), not exceeding 7 bar (100 psi) may be used.
Insert the air line nozzle inside the element and blow
the dust from the inside to the outside. Blow loose
particles from the outside of the element by holding
the nozzle at least 300 mm (12 in) from the element.
Protect your eyes when carrying out this operation.
4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner casing with a
damp lint-free cloth and refit the outer element
ensuring that the rubber sealing ring on the end is
secure.
5. If the indicator light comes on after a very short
interval of time, the main element is unfit for service
and must be renewed. However, if after renewal of
the main element, the indicator light stays on, the
inner element must also be renewed - DO NOT
attempt to clean it.
Inner secondary element
Change every 1000 hours or every 12 months
whichever is the sooner.
The inner filter element (3,Fig. 93) is added to protect
the engine should harmful particles pass through the
main filter. This inner element should be changed
every 1000 hours. DO NOT attempt to clean the inner
element.
