Element Inspection
1. Hold a bright light inside the element and
check carefully for holes. Discard any
element which shows the slightest hole.
2. Be sure the outer screen is not dented. If it
is, vibration will quickly wear a hole in the
filter.
3. Be sure filter gasket is in good condition. If
the gasket is damaged or missing, replace
the element.
Element Cleaning
1. Pat the sides of the element gently to
loosen dirt. Do NOT tap the element
against a hard surface.
2. Using a John Deere AR62377 Dry Element
Cleaner Gun, clean the element with
compressed air. Hold the nozzle next to
the inner surface and move up and down
the pleats.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove any
additional dirt.
4. Inspect element before reinstalling.
Do NOT direct air against
outside of element, as it might force dirt
through to inside.
