Air Cleaner Inspection.

2-3. Air Cleaner Inspection.

Examine the housing and the base plate for hairline cracks. If you find cracks in the

housing, report to organizational maintenance immediately so the air cleaner assembly

can be replaced. Do not operate the tank until it is repaired.

With the engine running, check to see that air exhaust can be felt at all four blower

motor elbows (fig. 2-1). Notify organizational maintenance immediately if two are not

working on the same air cleaner. Do not operate your tank. If air exhaust can be felt

at only one blower motor elbow on each air cleaner, you may continue to operate.

Notify organizational maintenance at first opportunity because the blower motors may

be inoperative and require replacement.

NOTE

Not all air cleaners have air cleaner filter clog indicators.

c. If your air cleaner has a filter clog indicator, take a reading as described in paragraph

Figure 2-1. Blower motor check.
