Maintenance and Care
7.1.1 Dry air filter
The engine is fitted with a dry air filter (2), consisting of the main filter element (3) and
the safety cartridge.
The main element must be replaced:
– once per year
– when the symbol is displayed on the terminal
– when the cartridge shows signs of damage.
The safety cartridge is accessible after removing the main element (3). It protects the
engine from dirt during maintenance of the main element or when the main element is
damaged. The safety cartridge cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced if needed, but at
the latest every two years.
Note! Risk of damage to the engine. When replacing filters, always ensure the utmost
cleanliness. Furthermore, the engine may never be operated without filter elements.

The dry air filter is located above the hydraulic fluid tank and is accessible from the
climbing platform. When removing and fitting, ensure the utmost cleanliness and correct
fit of the cartridge. A damaged air filter cartridge must be immediately replaced by a new,
undamaged filter cartridge.
The filter cartridge may only be removed when the engine has been switched off.
The safest, quickest and cleanest method of performing maintenance on a filter cartridge
is to replace it with a new cartridge.
The main element may be cleaned as described below. Since slight damage is only
detected with great difficulty or even impossible to detect, we recommend that you
always use a new filter cartridge to protect the engine. We do not assume any warranty
for cleaned elements and the consequences caused by them.
