Service the engine air cleaner elements only when the alert indicator for the intake air filter is flashing. Do not open the filter compartment unless service is indicated. Opening the filter compartment can cause dirt to get into the clean side of the filter housing.
Short air filter life can result if the precleaner system malfunctions. If air filter life is drastically reduced from typical for the operating conditions, consult you Cat dealer.
Service the engine air filters with the engine stopped. Engine damage could result.
Do not use the air cleaner elements for longer than 1 year.
Open access door (2) on the right-hand side of the machine to service the engine air cleaner.
