1. Importance of Air Filter Maintenance

Regular maintenance and replacement of the air filter is to maximize the filtration of dust in the engine air, reduce engine breakdowns and improve its durability. At the same time, while ensuring the filtering effect, it is also necessary to ensure smooth air flow to avoid affecting the engine output and fuel economy.

2. Inspection and Cleaning Procedure for Outside Air Filter Element

1.  Open the cover: First, you need to open the cover of the air filter element mounting plate located on the top of the machine.

2.  Remove the cartridge: Gently remove the outer air cartridge and carefully clean the inside of the cartridge housing.

3.  Compressed air blowing: Using compressed air of 0.2MPa or less, blow along the inner and outer edges of the cartridge to ensure that dust is thoroughly removed.

3. Replacement of the Inner Air Filter Element

After completing the cleaning of the outer air filter element, the next step is the replacement of the inner of the inner air filter element. First, remove the inner air filter element, taking care to cover the air dust with a clean cloth to prevent dust from entering during this process. Then, install the new air filter element.

4. Caution

•    Purge Distance: When cleaning the air filter element, the nozzle should be 10~20 cm away from the surface of the surface of the filter material to avoid direct purging that may cause damage to filter paper.

•    Replacement Interval: The outer air filter element should be replaced together with the inner air filter element after it has been cleaned 6 times or used for a total of 1000 hours. During this period, it is prohibited to remove the inner air filter element for cleaning.

•    Cleaning of Air Filter Element Cover: Regularly check and clean the dust inside the air filter element to keep it clean.

•    Preventing the Entry of Impurities: When performing maintenance, be sure to prevent impurities from entering the engine.

•    Air Filter Element Assembly Replacement: As soon as a tiny breakage of the outer air filter element or dust on the surface is detected, the entire air filter element assembly should be replaced to prevent dust from entering the engine.

•    Dust Exhaust Valve Inspection: The dust exhaust valve under the air filter element assembly is damaged and should be replaced in time to ensure that dust can be discharged efficiently and prolong the service life of the filter element.

Through the above steps and precautions, we can effectively maintain and replace the air filter cleaner of the excavator to ensure the stable operation of the engine and extend its service life.
