SERIES 60 ON-HIGHWAY ENGINE OPERATOR'S GUIDE NOTICE: Install the new filters, turning them until they contact the gasket fully with no side movement. Turn full-flow filters an additional 2/3 turn by hand , or as indicated on the filter. See Figure 16. Do not allow the air inlet restriction to exceed 20 in. H 2 O (5.0 kPa) under any engine operating conditions. A clogged air cleaner element will cause excessive intake restriction and reduced air supply to the engine resulting in increased fuel consumption, inefficient engine operation and reduced engine life. Inspect the entire air system for leaks daily. Look especially for torn air inlet piping or boots and loose or damaged clamps.
Have worn or damaged parts repaired or replaced, as required. Retighten loose connections. Air Cleaner Replacement Dry type air cleaner elements should be replaced after one year of service or when the maximum allowable air intake restriction has been reached, whichever comes first. Refer to When to Service the Dry Type Air Cleaner in this guide for additional information. Figure 16 Lubricating Oil Filters PERSONAL INJURY To avoid injury from slipping and falling, immediately clean up any spilled liquids.
