ENGINE 132 1 Air Filter 2 Air Filter mounting bracket 1 2 AIR INTAKE SYSTEM Air filter and air Intake system Air filter Dry type Air filter of higher capacity 7 m 3 /min air filter for higher air mass flow due to turbocharger and higher dust holding capacity. Initial restriction 180 mm of H20. General Air filter serves to filter dust from intake air for the engine. The air filter on the Safari DICOR is dry type. This also serves to dampen intake air noise. In addition to dust separation, the filter has a high dust holding capacity. Operation In dry type air filter the air flows into air filter chamber due to suction pressure. The dust is separated by the filter cartridge and clean and dust free air is sucked in the engine. Maintenance A service indicator is fitted on the filter outlet which indicates high pressure drop due to dust accumulation. This indicator is to be checked during servicing after specified kms. If the red band appears then the cartridge should be cleaned with pressurized air. The cartridge to be replaced after specified kms. Choked air filter cartridge causes 1. Increased wear of piston and cylinder bore. 2. Loss of power and pickup. 3. Increased fuel consumption. 4. High smoke. The cartridge to be replaced in above mentioned conditions. Removal 1. Loosen hose clips and remove hose (air filter to turbocharger). 2. Plug the pipe to turbocharger to avoid entry of foreign objects in the pipe. Any foreign material can seriously damage the turbocharger leading to its replacement. 3. Unscrew strap clamp nuts holding the air filter on the filter mounting bracket and release the clamp. Remove the rubber strap. 4. Loosen the hose clamps of air intake hose (from side panel) to air filter. 5. Lift the filter housing and keep it on the work bench. 6.
