Air Cleaner (Daily)

The Yanmar 55 hp engine is equipped with a replaceable, high-
density paper air cleaner element. Most are also equipped with
an oiled-foam precleaner which surrounds the paper element.

Check the air cleaner daily or before starting the engine. Check
for and correct heavy buildup of dirt and debris along with loose
or damaged components.

Operating the engine with loose or
damaged air cleaner components
could allow unfiltered air into the
engine causing premature wear
and failure.

Precleaner Service

If so equipped, wash and re-oil the precleaner every 25 hours of
operation (more often under extremely dusty or dirty conditions).

To service the precleaner perform the following steps, refer to
Figure 23:
