3. Remove the wing nut and carefully lift the primary
element out of the body. Wipe the body clean.
For minimum downtime, replace the dirty primary ele-
ment with a new or properly cleaned element. If the
element is to be cleaned for immediate reuse, reinstall
the icover and/or the dust cup to protect the induction
system.
4. If desired, the primary element can be cleaned with
one of the following methods:
a) COMPRESSED AIR --
Direct air flow through the element from the
inside out. Move the nozzle up and down while
rotating the element. Keep the nozzle at least one
inch from the pleated paper. Do not exceed 100
psi air pressure.
b) WASHING--
Soak the element 15 minutes in an air cleaner
detergent and water solution (Donaldson D-1400
or equivalent). Rinse the element until the water is
clear. Do not exceed 40 psi water pressure. Airdry
or use warm flowing air not to exceed 160 °F. Do
not use compressed air or light bulbs.
c) INSPECTION-
After cleaning, place a bright light inside the ele-
ment and rotate the element slowly. Do not use
the element if any ruptures, holes, or damaged
gaskets are discovered.
NOTE Replace the primary element after six cleanings
or annually, whichever comes first.
5. If equipped, the safety element must not be cleaned.
Replace the safety element with a new one every third
time the primary element is cleaned.
6. Replace any damaged cover or body seals. Annual
replacement of all seals is recommended.
7. When equipped, clean the tubes with a stiff fiber
brush (see Figure 3). If heavy plugging is evident,
remove the lower body and clean it with compressed air
and water not exceeding 160 ° F.

IMPORTANT
While air cleaner is on engine, never
clean tubes with compressed air unless both elements
are installed. Otherwise, dirt will enter engine. Do not
steam clean tubes.
8. Inspect a new element for shipping or storage dam-
age before installation. Do not use a damaged element.
9. Reinstall the safety element, if removed, and the
pri mary element. Make sure the hold-down or wing nuts
are securely tightened.
10. Reinstall the cover and/or the dust cup. Make sure
the clamp ring, clips or wing nut is tight to ensure a 360
degree seal.
