AIR CLEANING SYSTEM
WASHING
WARNING! Never wash an element in fuel, oil, gas or solvent. DO NOT OIL
ELEMENTS. Do not tap the element against a hard surface; this will damage the
element.
1. Carefully tap the side or end of the element against the palm of your hand to remove loose dust.
2. Wash the element in clean, warm water 20°C to 40°C. A small amount of nonsudsing detergent
added to the water will remove the soot.
3. Rinse the element in clear water. Shake the element carefully to remove excess water.
WARNING! Do not use compressed air to speed the drying of the element; the
air pressure will rupture the wet element.
4. Lay the element on its side and allow it to air-dry before reinstalling. Overnight drying is usually
sufficient. When drying the element, protect it from dirt and/or freezing
IMPORTANT: If no spare element is available, the wet element, after excess water has been
shaken out, may be installed in the air cleaner and the engine operated at low idle for 10 minutes
before operating.
COMPRESSED AIR CLEANING
1. Carefully tap the side or end of the element against the palm of your hand to remove loose dust.
2. Direct clean dry compressed air (max. pressure 200 kPa) up and down the pleats on the inside
of the element. Always direct the flow of compressed air opposite the normal operating air flow
direction through the element.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the filter element for leaks or damage by placing a bright light inside the element.
Inspection of the element on the outside will disclose any holes where concentrated light shines
through. The slightest rupture requires replacement of the filter element.
2. Inspect the contact surfaces of the air cleaner body. If faulty or damaged surfaces are noted,
correct these conditions immediately.
INSTALLATION
1. Insert the open end of element 9 into the air cleaner body. Install washer 5 and wing nut 4.
2. Install gasket 3 (replace if damaged), cover 2 and secure the cover to the body with the three
locking clamps .
3. Inspect and tighten all air cleaner connections before resuming operation.
IMPORTANT: After servicing the filter element press reset button 1, Fig. 5.10. to reset the air
cleaner service indicator.
