WARNING! Read through the safety advice for care and maintenance work in the “Safety information” chap-

ter before starting work.

WARNING! Care and maintenance work should be done with the engine stopped unless otherwise specified.

main switch. Working with, or going close to a running engine is a safety risk. Watch out for rotating compo-

nents and hot surfaces.

Engine, general

Air filter Check/change.

Change the air filters when the indicator remains in the

red field after the engine has been stopped. Reinstate

the pressure drop indicator after changing the filter, by

pressing in the button.

NOTE! The filters should not be touched until the indi-

cator shows the red field. Scrap the old filters. No

cleaning or re-use may be done.

IMPORTANT! In continuous operation, the filters

should be checked every 8 hours.

When operated in extremely dirty conditions,

such as coal mines, stone crushing mills etc.,

special filters are needed (not sold by Volvo Pen-

ta).

Air hoses. Leakage check.

Inspect the condition of the hoses, for cracks and oth-

er damage. Change as necessary. Test all hose

clamps for tightness.
