Check, Clean And Replace Air Cleaner Element - Komatsu D155A-6 Operation & Maintenance Manual

MAINTENANCE

CHECK, CLEAN AND REPLACE AIR CLEANER ELEMENT

Always wear protective glasses, dust mask, or other protective equipment.
When removing the air cleaner element from the air cleaner body, it is dangerous to pull it out by force.
When working at high places or where the foothold is poor, be careful not to fall because of the reaction when pulling out the
outer element.
CHECKING
When the yellow piston inside red zone (A) of the dust indicator (1)
overlaps the red zone, clean the air cleaner element. After
cleaning, press the reset button.
NOTICE
Always wait for the yellow piston in the dust indicator to overlap the red
zone on the outside before cleaning the element.
If the element is cleaned frequently before the yellow piston in the dust
indicator overlaps the red zone on the outside, the air cleaner will be
unable to display its normal performance and the cleaning effect will
become poor.
In addition, the frequency of dust stuck to the element falling inside the
inner element during the cleaning operation will increase.
