According to the quality of the air in the working environment of the tractor, proper maintenance and upkeep of the tractor air filter can effectively prevent a decrease in tractor power and extend the service life of the engine. In cases of poor air quality, the maintenance interval can be appropriately shortened.
When maintaining the air filter of the tractor, it is necessary to strictly check the sealing of each part; After maintenance and upkeep of the filter, it is necessary to ensure that the sealing gaskets are in good condition, the filter is installed correctly, and the function is reliable.
Precautions for maintenance of tractor air filter

When maintaining the air filter of a tractor, it is necessary to strictly check the sealing of the connections between the air filter and the intake pipe, cylinder head intake port, etc. The air filter and the intake system connected to it are not allowed to have air leakage, otherwise it will reduce or lose the filtering effect of the filter. Therefore, special attention should be paid when installing the air filter. Once air leakage is found, it should be dealt with in a timely manner.
Method for checking the sealing of the intake system
Start the engine and let it idle steadily. Remove the air filter cover and block the intake pipe with a cotton cloth. The engine should be immediately turned off within 3-5 seconds. Otherwise, it indicates that there is air leakage in the intake system and should be promptly eliminated. Tractor filters using paper filters should not be used in this way to avoid damaging the paper filter.
