The air cleaner, Figure 1, on the Ford 7000 Tractor
Is located in front of the radiator and Is of the dry ele-
ment type. It cons Is ts of a primary element and a
secondary (safety) element.
The primary element should be cleaned whenever the
air cleaner restriction warning light glows red. To
clean the primary element:
1. Remove the filter element, Figure 1.
2. Check the rubber seal on the end of the element for
adhesion. If the seal is loose, Install a new element.
A loose, damaged, or missing seal will allow dust
to enter the engine and cause severe engine wear.
3. Clean the element by tapping It against the palm of
your hand. DO NOT beat the element against the
tire or a hard surface as damage to the element will
result.
NOTE:
Compressed
air, not to
exceed
100

be used lor cleaning. Blow dust from the
inside to
the outside by inserting the nozzle inside the ele-
ment.

age exists, install a new fl lter element.

fore resuming operation.
The primary air cleaner element should be changed
every 600 hours, (or whenever the 300 hour Inspec-
tion shows the element to be damaged), or after ten
cleanings, or whenever damage to the element Is
observed.
The secondary filter element Is a safety element . . It
will protect the engine from dan1age In the event dust
passes through a damaged primary element. The second-
ary (safety) element sh o u Id be replaced when a · new
primary filter fails to extinguish the air cleaner restric-
tion warning light, provided that the glowing light Is not
due to a malfunction In the electrical circuit. To Install
a new secondary (safety) element:

taining nut to a torque ot 20 to 40 In. lbs. (.23 to
