Forklift air filter can also be called forklift air filter, forklift air grid or forklift air filter, its main function is to install on the air intake of forklift carburetor, its function is to remove the suspension in the air entering the carburetor Dust and other unclean substances to prolong the service life of forklift engine parts.

The engine of the forklift is an important system of the whole forklift, and it is one of the very precise parts of the forklift, because the engine needs a lot of air and gasoline or diesel to participate in the combustion. Dust and other unclean substances will be brought into the cylinder, affecting the friction between the piston and the cylinder, and there may be serious failure problems.

So how often should a forklift air filter be changed? Some people say once a month, some say once every three months, in fact, there is no specific time, because the replacement of the filter of the forklift has a great relationship with the operating environment of the forklift, which depends on the air filter inhalation. The amount of dust and sand particles has a lot to do with it. Therefore, forklifts with many daily operations (such as daily use) and poor working environment are best replaced once a month, and forklifts that are not frequently used can be slowly replaced once every three months.

Let's learn more about forklift air filters together. First of all, most of the forklift air filters are inertial and oil bath integrated types, which are mainly composed of parts such as shell, air inlet, outer casing, oil chamber, fixing nut, oil, filter element, and air outlet. Its working principle is that when the air passes through the air intake hole and enters the air filter, the air flow turns downward and contacts with the oil surface of the oil chamber, and then the air flow goes up through the filter element and the air outlet leads to the carburetor. When the airflow turns on the surface of the oil, due to inertia, the dust or other unclean substances in the air will adhere to the oil, and some of the tiny dust will be filtered again when the airflow passes through the filter element, so that the air entering the carburetor is relatively small. clean. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the forklift air filter clean and the right amount of oil level to achieve the effect of air filtration.

When removing the forklift air filter for cleaning, the oil in the oil storage tank should be poured out first, and the oil storage tank and its filter screen should be cleaned with kerosene, and the casing and cover should be cleaned and dried. Then, apply a thin layer of lubricating oil on the inner surface of the filter housing and the cover, soak the filter screen with new oil, put it back after waiting for oil dripping, and finally add new oil according to the oil level regulation, and the oil level should not exceed or fall below the regulation high.

The gaskets of the joint parts of the forklift filter must ensure a good sealing effect. The fixing bolt must be fastened, and the filter must not be loosened on the carburetor.

The tire is the only connection point between the forklift and the road. It not only bears the entire weight of the forklift and the weight of the cargo, but also responds to driving actions such as steering, acceleration and braking, and absorbs the impact of the road on the vehicle. Especially in winter when the ground is slippery, tires are crucial to driving safety and cannot be ignored!
