Washing Method
• Prepare a solution of filter cleaner and
water and soak the filter element about 15
minutes. Refer to directions on the filter
cleaner carton for complete information.
• After soaking the filter for 15 minutes,
rinse it with clear water. Maximum water
pressure must not exceed 276 kPa to
prevent damage to the filter element.
• Dry the filter element using warm, flowing
air (71° C) max), or allow the element to
air dry. Do not use a light bulb to dry the
filter element because damage could result.
Compressed Air Method
• Blow compressed air from inside to the
outside of dry filter element. Do not
exceed 689 kPa to prevent damage to the
element.
• Keep the air hose nozzle at least 5 cm
from filter and move the nozzle up and
down while rotating the filter element.
Inspect for holes and tears by looking
through the filter toward a bright light.
5. Inspect the new filter for shipping damage.
Check the sealing end of the filter. Do not
install a damaged filter.
6. Insert the new filter properly into the air cleaner
body. Make sure the filter is sealed properly by
applying pressure to the outer rim of the filter
when installing. Do not press on the flexible
32
center of the filter.
7. Reinstall the cover and secure the latches.
8. Reset the indicator if it is showing red.
