AIR CLEANER
This issue focus on the importance of using genuine air cleaners.
An air cleaner clears off dust while air is being aspirated into an engine, and prevents the engine from abrasion.
This is the very important part since it has an enormous effect on engine performance. However, if you use cheap
non-genuine air cleaners, serious problems/damages will occur. In this issue, we will show you such examples.
Read carefully, and be aware how each component will be damaged by using non-genuine parts.

Figure 1: Scheme of Engine Model 1. Air Cleaner

The below is an inside view of an air
cleaner case. Like this picture, if you
3.Air use non-genuine element,
Compressor the cleaner can not eliminate dust and
then dust passes through the cleaner.
This will cause fatal engine problem.

When dust enters the engine, cylinder liner and Also a piston and a liner of an air compressor
piston ring will be worn out. The width of the opened gap will be worn out due to the dust. As a result, oil
of the piston ring becomes abnormally widened. It will cause no will flow out beyond the air compressor.
engine power and also eat up so much oil and fuel !

4. Air Reservoir tank
The oil flowed from the air compressor flows into the air
reservoir tank. Eventually, you see the oil discharge Please use genuine air cleaners,
from a drain cock. because it seriously affects the oil
and fuel consumption. Also even if
you use genuine parts, replace/ clean
the parts properly. See the Owners
Manual for the maintenance
schedules of replacement/cleaning.
Thanks!
