    (1) Adapter

    (2) Support shaft

    (3) Support screen

    (4) Air cleaner element

    (5) Air cleaner housing

    (6) Pin that holds the support shaft in place

  1. Remove the hose clamp from the adapter (1) that is attached to the turbocharger. Remove the bracket from the air cleaner housing. Remove the air cleaner housing (5). Remove the hose clamp from the adapter (1). Remove the rubber hose from the air cleaner housing.

  1. Remove the support shaft (2) from the air cleaner housing (5). Remove the support screen (3) from the air cleaner housing (5). Remove the air cleaner element (4) .

  1. Clean the inside of the air cleaner housing with a clean, damp cloth. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner housing dry.


    NOTICE

    Do not use gasoline, steam, caustic or unapproved detergents, or parts cleaning solvents. Do not use high pressure water or air to clean the air cleaner element. Any of those liquids or methods can cause air cleaner element damage.


  1. Wash the air cleaner element in a solution of soap and water. Rinse the air cleaner element with low water pressure. The maximum water pressure for this procedure is 275 kPa (40 psi). Tap water is acceptable. Start to rinse the air cleaner element from the clean side (inside). Next, clean the dirty side (outside) in order to flush out dirt. Inspect the air cleaner element for tears and/or holes after the air cleaner element is cleaned. Do not reuse damaged air cleaner elements. Allow the element to air dry. Drying the element in the sun speeds the process.

  1. Place the cleaned element (4) or a new element in the housing of the air cleaner (5). Insert the support screen (3) into the housing. Ensure that the end of the support screen (3) is engaged in the recess in the filter body. Insert the support shaft (2) into the housing.

  1. Install the adapter (1) onto the air cleaner housing and install the hose clamp. Install the adapter (1) onto the turbocharger. Install the bracket onto the air cleaner housing. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Torque Specifications" for more information on the proper torques.
