Air Cleaner Restriction Indicators Air cleaner restriction is measured by an air restriction indicator,
mounted on the air cleaner or instrument panel.
Air restriction is resistance of airflow through the air cleaner.
Accurate air restriction is measured at maximum airflow. Air Restriction Indicator Calibration
• Both indicators are calibrated in inches of water.
• Both should be tested periodically (using a master vacuum
gauge) to ensure a correct calibration.
Air Restriction Indicator Operation
• The yellow position indicator progressively fills the window
as air filter restriction increases, locking at the highest
restriction at full load.
• When the yellow position indicator reaches and locks in the
red zone, a new air filter should be installed.
NOTE: If the yellow indicator locks in the red zone, it is not
necessary to shut down the engine immediately, but a new air
filter should be installed as soon as possible.
Air Restriction Indicator Reset

Correct road operation of your vehicle will provide the following: DOWNHILL OPERATION
• Satisfactory engine performance
• Maximum fuel economy
• Long service life
General guidelines for correct road operation
1. Use the lowest gear to start vehicle. This allows the engine
to easily start the load.
2. Accelerate smoothly and evenly to engine rated speed.
Rapid acceleration causes high fuel consumption.
3. To prevent lugging, do not let engine speed drop below peak
torque rpm during full throttle.
4. When approaching a hill, depress accelerator smoothly
Figure 21 Downhill operation
to start the upgrade at full power. Shift down to maintain
maximum vehicle speed.
CAUTION: To prevent engine damage when driving downhill, do
not operate engine above high idle.
Protect your engine when driving downhill as follows:
• Prevent overspeeding of engine when going down long and
steep grades.
• Operate the engine in a gear that allows a lower rpm.
