2.9 Air inlet system, functional
description
The air inlet system consists of two air filters, a compres-
sor air inlet valve and interconnecting piping to the
engine and the compressor.
The air filters are two-stage dry element type filters that
are capable of cleaning extremely dirty air. However,
when operating in dirty environments, the filters should
be checked more frequently.
See Section 5.9.3: Air filter maintenance on page 41 for
air filter maintenance procedures.
