1) Sand and dust are very dangerous for the engine
when drawn in with the air for combustion. Together with the oil in the engine
they act an grinding paste and very quickly cause excessive wear. Before going
to regions where there is a lot of sand and dust we recommend therefore that
cyclone air filters are fitted.
