The existence of air filter element as a filtration device, compared with engine, gearbox and other accessories, although it is insignificant, it has a light status.
The air filter element is like a checkpoint for the air to enter the excavator engine. It can filter out the hard dust particles in the air, provide clean air to the engine, prevent dust from causing engine wear and tear, and play a super role in the reliability and durability of the engine.
Precautions for air filter element maintenance
1, pay attention to the maintenance cycle
Maintenance cycle of air filter element: it is recommended to check and clean every 7 days or 8000 km ~12000 km. If it is a dusty area or a bad working condition, it should be checked and cleaned every day.
2. Do not use air source to blow filter element
Note for air filter element maintenance: It is strictly prohibited to use air source to blow filter element, which is easy to cause early damage to the filter element and have a fatal impact on the engine.
3, pay attention to dust in the air
When maintaining the air filter, it is necessary to park the equipment in a clean air environment to avoid dust in the air falling into the air filter. When cleaning the dust inside the shell, avoid raising the dust and adsorbing it into the safety filter element.
4. Cleaning method
It is recommended to use vibration or brush cleaning to check whether the inlet pipe seal is intact, especially whether the hose adapter clamp is loose and whether the pipe wall is worn, so as to prevent short circuit of air into the generator.
Air filter blocking is serious, can increase the intake resistance, resulting in a decline in the power of the engine, because of air resistance increases at the same time, also can increase the engine fuel consumption at work, thus worsening engine running condition, increase fuel consumption, so more attention should be paid to machine the friends of air filters filter maintenance and maintenance.
