Air Filter (Fire Ret.) 1620142 for Hyster

Category: Air Filters

Product Description

The air filter (fire ret.) 1620142 for Hyster is designed to protect your forklift’s engine while offering an added layer of fire resistance. Engine air filters prevent dust, debris, and contaminants from entering the engine, ensuring optimal combustion and extending engine life. However, in high-risk environments such as warehouses with flammable materials, a fire-retardant filter safeguards against potential hazards.

Built for durability, the air filter ensures a steady airflow while maintaining filtration efficiency. Proper airflow regulation helps maintain engine temperature and fuel efficiency, reducing maintenance costs. Regularly replacing your forklift’s air filter is essential to prevent performance issues and costly repairs.

This air filter is perfectly compatible with Hyster forklifts and supports smooth operations in demanding industrial settings. A high-quality fire-retardant filter ensures clean air intake and keeps your forklift running safely and efficiently.

Signs of a Faulty or Damaged Air Filter

A faulty or damaged air filter in an engine or HVAC system can lead to several performance issues. Here are some common signs indicating that an air filter needs replacement or maintenance:

• Reduced Engine Performance: A clogged air filter restricts airflow, causing reduced horsepower and sluggish acceleration.

• Decreased Fuel Efficiency: Engines require a proper air-fuel mixture. A dirty filter can cause an imbalance, leading to increased fuel consumption.

• Black Smoke or Sooty Exhaust: Restricted airflow can result in incomplete combustion, causing black smoke from the exhaust.

• Strong Fuel Smell: You might notice a strong gasoline odor if fuel isn't burning efficiently.

Recommended Use/Applications

This fire-retardant air filter 1620142 is specifically designed for use in select Hyster forklift models operating in environments where fire hazards are a concern. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Purpose of an Air Filter?

A fire-retardant air filter, like the 1620142, serves the dual purpose of cleaning intake air for the engine and reducing the risk of fire in hazardous environments. The filter media is treated to resist ignition, preventing flames from spreading through the air intake system.

Why Do I Need a Fire-Retardant Air Filter For My Hyster Forklift?

A fire-retardant filter is a critical safety precaution if your forklift operates where flammable materials are present (e.g., warehouses storing chemicals, paper, or textiles). It minimizes the risk of a fire starting or spreading through the forklift's air intake.

Can I Clean This Air Filter?

Cleaning methods vary depending on the filter media. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific cleaning procedures if applicable. Some fire-retardant filters may be disposable and not designed for cleaning.

What are the Signs That My Air Filter Needs Replacing?

Common signs include reduced engine power, decreased fuel efficiency, black smoke from the exhaust, a strong fuel smell, and visible dirt or debris on the filter element. With a fire-retardant filter, inspecting for any signs of heat damage or degradation of the fire-retardant properties is important.
