How to Identify the Front and Back Sides of a Vehicle Air Filter?
1 Answers
There is an arrow indicator on the side of the car air filter, and the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of air flow. Generally, the arrow should face downward during installation. Precautions for the installation and use of the air filter are as follows: 1. During installation, whether the air filter is connected to the engine intake pipe via flange, rubber hose, or direct connection, it must be tightly secured to prevent air leakage. Rubber gaskets must be installed on both end faces of the filter. The wing nuts fixing the outer cover of the air filter should not be over-tightened to avoid damaging the paper filter element. 2. During use, the paper filter element must be strictly protected from being soaked by rainwater, as excessive water absorption will significantly increase intake resistance and shorten its service life. Additionally, the paper filter element must not come into contact with oil or fire.
