Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which forklift models use the 00591-01965-81 air filter?
A: This air filter fits internal combustion forklifts from major OEM brands such as Hyster, Mitsubishi, CAT, BT, and Linde. Confirm your forklift model and engine type before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What are the filter media type and dimensions?
A: Specifications vary by engine configuration. Contact us with your forklift model and serial number for exact media type (pleated paper, foam, or combination), housing diameter, and height.
Q: How often should the air filter be replaced?
A: Replace the air filter every 300 to 500 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. In dusty warehouse or outdoor environments, replace every 200 hours. A clogged filter reduces engine power and fuel efficiency.
Q: What happens if I do not replace a dirty air filter?
A: A clogged filter restricts air intake, causing poor engine performance, black smoke, reduced lift power, and increased fuel consumption. Severe restriction can lead to engine stalling or permanent damage.
Q: Can I clean and reuse this air filter?
A: Most disposable filters cannot be effectively cleaned. If your equipment specifies a reusable filter, gentle compressed air cleaning may extend life. However, replacement is more cost-effective and reliable for most operations.
Q: Is installation simple or do I need a technician?
A: Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools. Simply unclamp or unscrew the old filter housing, remove the old filter, insert the new filter, and secure. Most technicians complete the job in under 10 minutes.
