5.4.3. Cleaning air cleaner elements
z By compressed air (wear goggles)
- Use the air gun to clean the element
down to the inside of the bottom of the
element by spraying compressed air in
90 degree direction..
- Move the air gun up and down along the
element, and blow the air from inside to
outside until no dust is blown out of the
element.
- The compressed air pressure
should not exceed 5 bars.
z By washing
- Before washing, the element should be
precleaned by means of compressed air,
as described above.
- Then allow the element to soak in
lukewarm washing solvent for 10
minutes, and then move it to and fro in
the solvent for about 5 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly in clean water, shake
out and allow drying at room
temperature. The cartridge must be dry
before it is reinstalled.
- Never use steam sprayers, petrol
(gasoline), alkalis or hot liquids etc. to
clean the air cleaner elements.
z Knocking out dirt by hand
- In emergencies, when no compressed air or cleaning agent is available, it is
possible to clean the filter cartridge provisionally by hitting the end disk of the
cartridge with the ball of one's thumb.
- Under no circumstances should
the element be hit with a hard
object or knocked against a hard
surface to loosen dirt deposits.
