Restriction of air flow through the air cleaner element
is measured at the tap in the air cleaner outlet.
Check the restriction indicator at the air cleaner or in
the cab if the vehicle is equipped with a dash-
mounted restriction gauge.
Vehicles may be equipped with either a manual-reset
restriction indicator with graduations, as shown in
Fig. 1, or a go/no-go restriction indicator without
graduations, as shown in

restriction equals or exceeds the maximum
allowable restriction. For instructions, see the
Business Class® M2 Plus Driver's Manual.

housing correctly, which can lead to engine
damage and potentially the loss of warranty. When
replacing an air-cleaner element, use only the part
listed in PartsPro for the serial number of the
vehicle.
2. If necessary, replace the air cleaner element. For
air cleaner element replacement instructions, see

or any other damage. If the air cleaner housing
or element is damaged, replace it.
