Proper Care of the Two-Stage Air Cleaner for Certain 3512C Petroleum Engines {1051, 1054}
- Petroleum Engine:
- 3512C (S/N: R1S1-UP)
The 254-3566 Air Cleaner Gp is a two-stage air cleaner option offered on 3512C petroleum well fracturing engines. The filter housings are being damaged due to over tightening of the clamps. Once the clamps have been over tightened and the housing is damaged, debris can be introduced into the unfiltered air. Below is the proper assembly and torquing procedure.
Clamp Assembly Procedure
- Install the two band clamps (1) on each side of the connections.
