reaches the engine intake manifold. The major components of the air intake system are as follows:
AIR CLEANER
– Directs outside air through filter element.
FILTER ELEMENT
– Removes dirt and dust from the air.
AIR CLEANER INDICATOR
– Shows red when filter element needs servicing.
AIR CLEANER OUTLET
– Directs air from air cleaner to turbocharger.
AIR CLEANER HOOD
– Prevents rain and large objects from entering air intake system.
