2.8 AIR INLET SYSTEM,
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The compressor inlet system consists of one air
filter, a compressor air inlet valve and interconnecting
piping to the engine and compressor. Also, air filter
restriction indicator gauges are located next to the air
filter housings.
The air filter is a 2-stage unit with a safety element
dry element-type filter. This filter is capable of
cleaning extremely dirty air. However, in such cases,
frequent checks of the air filter will be required.

Referring to the instrument panel, the engine air filter
restriction gauge or the compressor air filter
restriction gauge will indicate when restriction of the
air passing through the filter becomes too high.
At this time, change the air filter element. Refer to
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE on page 61. These
indicators should be checked daily, after start-up
under normal conditions.
The compressor air inlet valve controls the amount of
air intake of the compressor in response to the air
demand.
