Air Inlet Restriction
There will be a reduction in the performance of the engine if there is a restriction in the air inlet system.
Inspect the engine air cleaner inlet and ducting in order to ensure that the passageway is not blocked or collapsed.
Inspect the engine air cleaner element. Replace a dirty engine air cleaner element with a clean engine air cleaner element.
Check for dirt tracks on the clean side of the engine air cleaner element. If dirt tracks are observed, contaminants are flowing past the engine air cleaner element and/or the seal for the engine air cleaner element.
Hot engine components can cause injury from burns. Before performing maintenance on the engine, allow the engine and the components to cool.
Making contact with a running engine can cause burns from hot parts and can cause injury from rotating parts.When working on an engine that is running, avoid contact with hot parts and rotating parts.
Use the differential pressure gauge of the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group.
