Engine heat, vibration, and age combine to
loosen air intake connections and cause
cracks in the tubing and elbows. Leaks in
the intake system allow abrasive dust to
enter the engine and quickly cause
expensive damage. During your daily walk-
around inspection, carefully check all
tubing, elbows, clamps, supports and
fasteners for condition and tightness.
Check the Charge-Air-Cooler for air leaks
annually. The air leaks can be caused by
cracked tubes or header. For service see
your authorized dealer
.
CAUTION
Do not use air intake pipes and con-
nections as a step or to pull yourself
up. This could loosen the connections
and open the system to unfiltered air
which could damage the engine.
