Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which forklift models use air filter 00591-34117-81?
A: This air filter is compatible with various combustion engine forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, and other major manufacturers. Verify the filter dimensions and connection type match your equipment before ordering. Check your equipment manual or original part number for exact compatibility.
Q: What is the material composition of filter 00591-34117-81?
A: This air filter uses multi-stage paper media with pleated construction to maximize surface area and filtration efficiency. The media filters particles down to specified micron sizes to protect engine components from contamination in dust-heavy warehouse and outdoor environments.
Q: How often should air filter 00591-34117-81 be replaced?
A: Replace at manufacturer-recommended intervals, typically 250 to 500 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. In high-dust environments such as lumber yards or concrete facilities, replace more frequently. Inspect visually and replace if media is clogged, torn, or discolored.
Q: Can filter 00591-34117-81 be cleaned and reused?
A: Most air filters are designed for single-use replacement, not cleaning and reuse. Cleaning can damage the media and reduce filtration efficiency, allowing contaminants to reach the engine. Replace with a new filter rather than attempting to clean a used unit.
Q: What symptoms indicate air filter 00591-34117-81 needs replacement?
A: Signs of a clogged air filter include reduced engine power, rough idling, increased fuel consumption, and black smoke from the exhaust. If the filter housing shows visible dirt buildup or the media appears heavily discolored, replacement is due.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for 00591-34117-81?
A: Cross-reference numbers vary by OEM manufacturer. Provide your equipment model and serial number for equivalent part identification. We can help match this filter to other compatible forklift models.
