Forklift Parts AIR FILTER (FIRE RET.) A000002806
Category: Air Filter
Product Description
The A0000-02806 air filter, designed explicitly for Mitsubishi and Caterpillar machinery, offers enhanced protection against fire hazards in industrial settings. Unlike standard filters, this forklift air filter incorporates fire-retardant materials that resist combustion, reducing the fire risk in the engine compartment. Suitable for use in environments with potential fire risks, such as those with volatile fumes or combustible dust, it ensures cleaner air enters the engine, boosting performance and extending the equipment's service life.
By trapping harmful particles while preventing flame propagation, this forklift air filter (FIRE RET.) maintains engine efficiency and significantly elevates workplace safety. Opting for a fire retardant filter like the A0000-02806 can be a pivotal safety upgrade for industrial operations prone to fire risks. This part is also listed under the following numbers: A000002806, CT A000002806, CATERPILLAR/TOWMOTORA000002806, CATERPILLAR/TOWMOTOR A000002806, 2806.

Signs of a Faulty Air Filter
Recognizing the signs of a faulty air filter can prevent more significant issues in your machinery’s performance:
-
Reduced Engine Power: A noticeable decrease in horsepower and acceleration indicates restricted airflow to the engine.
-
Misfiring Engine: Irregular engine performance or stalling, often caused by insufficient air mixing with the fuel.
-
Unusual Engine Noises: The engine bay is making increased popping or spitting sounds, signaling a blockage in the air intake.
-
Excessive Exhaust Smoke: Darker smoke from the exhaust than usual, pointing to incomplete fuel combustion.
-
Increased Fuel Consumption: Poor fuel efficiency as the engine compensates for the lack of oxygen by using more fuel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should the air filter be replaced in industrial machinery?
The replacement schedule can vary based on usage and environment, but typically, every 600 to 800 operating hours or annually for standard conditions. More frequent changes might be needed in dusty or dirty environments to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
What are the signs that indicate a need to change the air filter?
Check and replace the air filter if you notice decreased engine performance, increased fuel consumption, or excessive exhaust emissions. These signs suggest that the filter is clogged and restricting airflow to the engine.
Can this air filter for Mitsubishi and Caterpillar be used in any forklift model?
While designed for specific Mitsubishi and Caterpillar models, checking compatibility with your machinery's specifications is essential. This ensures the filter fits properly and functions as expected.
What are the benefits of using a fire-retardant air filter in forklifts?
Using a fire-retardant air filter adds a layer of safety by preventing the ignition of flammable debris within the filter. This is crucial in environments with high fire risks, such as warehouses or construction sites with volatile materials.
