Crankcase Breather Element
Cleaning
[219 ER]
All ASET™ engines are equipped with a
fiberglass-reinforced nylon crankcase breather
element canister. The procedure for cleaning the
element is as follows:
1. Remove the canister cover by unthreading it
from the housing.
2. Place a thin-blade screwdriver between the
outside diameter of the element and the
canister housing. Then, remove the element
by rotating the screwdriver and element
while exerting upward pressure.
3. Wash the element in shop solvent and blow
dry with shop air.
4. Reinstall the element in the canister
housing.
A socket with the same diameter as the center
tube in the breather housing will ease installation
of the filter element. Insert the socket in the filter
element and place the element and socket over
the center tube. Then, slide the element onto the
tube and remove the socket (Figure 106).
5. Install and tighten the canister cover.
