6.4.2.4 Cleaning the filter element
– Withdraw the filter element (see section 6.4.2.3).
Reinstall the dust trap cover to protect the air
intake system while cleaning the element.
– Carefully knock the end faces of the filter element
on a flat surface to remove the dry contaminant.
Never strike on a hard surface. Then blow dry air
up and down the pleats in the reverse direction of
normal flow; subsequently blow up and down the
pleats on both sides of the element. The air
pressure may not exceed 5 bar (73 psi) and a
reasonable distance must be maintained between
the hose nozzle and the pleats.
– If the contaminant is oily, soak the element for 10
minutes in luke-warm water in which a non-
foaming detergent is dissolved. Then, move the
element to and fro in the solution for 5 minutes.
– Rinse with soft water until the drain water is clear.
Let the element dry. Never use compressed air to
hasten drying.
– Inspect the element by placing a light inside it.
Spots or ruptures of the paper render the element
unfit for further use.
– Reassemble in reverse order of dismantling.
– Reset the air filter service indicator by pushing the
