Air filter PM reminders.ENGINEER BATTALIONS IN SOUTHWEST ASIA Southwest Asia or Southwestern Asia (largely overlapping with the Middle East) is the southwestern portion of Asia. The term Western Asia is sometimes used in writings about the archeology and the late prehistory of the region, and in the United States subregion (SWA adv. 1. So. ) ARE GIVING THE INTERIM HIGH MOBILITY ENGINEER EXCAVATORS (IHMEE) A REAL RUN FOR THEIR MONEY. THEY'RE MOVING, DUMPING AND EXCAVATING DIRT AND SAND IN THE WORST POSSIBLE CONDITIONS. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] KEEP YOUR IHMEE ON THE JOB BY FOLLOWING THE PMCS PMCS PMC Sierra (stock symbol) PMCS Project Management Control System PMCS partial mission-capable, supply (US DoD) PMCS Preventive Maintenance Checks & Services PMCS Professional Military Comptroller School IN TM 5-2420-230-10 AND USE THESE PM TIPS FOR SMOOTH AIRFLOW THROUGH THE EXCAVATOR'S AIR FILTERS. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Filter Element Is Crucial A clean air filter element is crucial in dusty and sandy areas. So keep an eye on the air cleaner restriction gauge located on the cab's dashboard. If the gauge reads more than 25 in [H.sub.2]0 (625mm [H.sub.2]O), it means the air filter element is dirty and needs to be cleaned. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Use low-pressure air-30 psi PSI - Portable Scheme Interpreter or less--from inside-to-out, to loosen dirt and sand from the filter element. Never bang the element on a hard surface. That damages it. Replace the element once a year, or after six cleanings. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] By the way, squeeze the dust and sand out of the dust cap on the bottom of the air filter element canister. Do this before the day's run. Also, make sure the cap is in place on the canister. It has a bad record of getting knocked off when the air hose or tools are removed from the canister's storage compartment. Dust Bowl Precleaner The dust bowl precleaner is located on the back of the excavator's rear curbside curb·side n. 1. The side of a pavement or street that is bordered by a curb. 2. A sidewalk. adj. Located, operating, or occurring at or along the sidewalk or curb: fender. It collects fine dust before it gets into the cab air system's air filter element. Remove the precleaner lid by unscrewing the knurled knurl n. 1. A knob, knot, or other small protuberance. 2. One of a series of small ridges or grooves on the surface or edge of a metal object, such as a thumbscrew, to aid in gripping. tr.v. nut. Use a clean rag to wipe out the dust and sand that collects inside the precleaner. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Cab Air System The filter element for the cab's air system is located next to your right elbow when you're sitting in the driver's seat driv·er's seat n. A position of control or authority. . Most of the time, the air system keeps clean air circulating inside the cab, no matter how dusty the worksite is. But a loss of fresh air inside the cab signals you to remove the filter element to see if it's clogged with dust and sand. If it is, clean it with low-pressure air.
