After cleaning out the
precleaner, eyeball the
plastic bowl for cracks.
These cracks happen
from vehicle vibration,
exposure to the ele-
ments, and low-hanging
branches.
If you see a crack, use
a piece of duct tape to
cover the crack (outside
the bowl) until your
mechanic can replace
the precleaner’s dust
bowl with NSN 2940-
00-876-2181.

Keep the Flow
Before the day’s run,
squeeze the dirt out of
the dust cap on the bot-
tom of the air canister.
Do it more often if
you’re operating in a
dusty or sandy area.
Keep an eye on the
air cleaner indicator,
too. If it shows red,
stop and clean the filter.

Keep Cool
Any dirt or mud caked
in the transmission oil
cooler fins will stop air
flow that carries heat from
the oil, causing the engine
or transmission to over-
heat. So clean any dirt or
mud off the fins with low-
pressure water or air.
So do your part
to keep clean
air flowing by
following these
PM pointers.
