Note: Caution must be used to prevent electrical
components from being damaged by excessive water
when the engine is cleaned. Pressure washers and
steam cleaners should not be directed at any
electrical connectors or the junction of cables into the
rear of the connectors. Avoid electrical components
such as the alternator, the starter, and the ECM.
Protect the fuel injection pump from fluids to wash the
engine.
Ensure that care is taken that the safety labels,
emission label, and all other information labels are
not removed during engine cleaning.
Aftertreatment
During the engine cleaning process, ensure that
water or cleaning fluids cannot enter the
aftertreatment system. If cleaning fluids enters the
aftertreatment system, damage could occur.
Engine Air Cleaner Element -
Replace
NOTICE
Never run the engine without an air cleaner element
installed. Never run the engine with a damaged air
cleaner element. Do not use air cleaner elements
with damaged pleats, gaskets or seals. Dirt entering
the engine causes premature wear and damage to
engine components. Air cleaner elements help to pre-
vent airborne debris from entering the air inlet.
NOTICE
Never service the air cleaner element with the engine
running since this will allow dirt to enter the engine.
Ensure that the engine cannot start before any
service or repair is performed.
Servicing the Air Cleaner Element
Note: The air filter system may not have been
provided by Perkins. The procedure that follows is for
a typical air filter system. Refer to the OEM
information for the correct procedure.
If the air cleaner element becomes plugged, the air
can split the material of the air cleaner element.
Unfiltered air will drastically accelerate internal
engine wear. Refer to the OEM information for the
correct air cleaner elements for your application.
• Check the air cleaner service indicator daily.
• Check the pre-cleaner (if equipped) and the dust
bowl daily for accumulation of dirt and debris.
Remove any dirt and debris, as needed.
• Operating in dirty conditions may require more
frequent service of the air cleaner element.
Replace the dirty air cleaner elements with new air
cleaner elements. Before installation, the air cleaner
elements should be thoroughly checked for tears
and/or holes in the filter material. Inspect the gasket
or the seal of the air cleaner element for damage.
Maintain a supply of suitable air cleaner elements for
replacement purposes.
Dual Element Air Cleaner
The dual element air cleaner contains a primary air
cleaner element and a secondary air cleaner
element.
When the engine is operating in environments that
are dusty or dirty, air cleaner elements may require
i07003542
more frequent replacement.
If equipped, perform maintenance on the pre-cleaner
or the dust bowl before performing maintenance on
the air filter elements.
