PROBLEM

Show/hide table

The 130-3279 Precleaner Assembly (ordered as part of the 255-1335 Sy-klone Precleaner optional attachment) on certain 12M and 120M Motor Graders is too restrictive. This may result in false air restriction codes. A larger 3435645/">343-5645 Precleaner is needed to avoid these false warnings.
