Pre-cleaner - Clean, Inspect and Replace

Never service the pre-cleaner while the engine is
running. Servicing the air cleaner while the engine is
running can cause particles of foreign matter to enter
the engine and result in rapid wear of parts, leading
to a shorter service life of the engine.
The pre-cleaner is equipped to the silencer of the tur-
bocharger to prevent foreign items from sucking and
keep the engine clean for optimum performance. Be
sure to clean the pre-cleaner as described below.
1. Remove the pre-cleaner from the silencer, and
hand-wash the pre-cleaner with a mild detergent.
2. Rinse the pre-cleaner with fresh water.
3. After drying thoroughly, inspect the pre-cleaner for
defect. If any defect are found, replace the pre-
cleaner with a new one.
4. After cleaning, inspecting or changing the pre-
cleaner, reinstall it to the silencer.
