STEP 6
DP96J426
If most of the dirt is dry, clean the primary
element with compressed air from the inside of
the element to the outside.
Keep the air nozzle approximately 130 mm (5
inches) away from the element and move the
nozzle up and down while turning the element.
IMPORTANT:
The air pressure must not be
more than 207 kPa, 2 bar (30 psi). Use an air
hose with a safety ON/OFF control nozzle and
always wear face protection.
STEP 7
DP96J427
To check the clean element for damage or holes,
put a lamp inside the element and turn the
element. Visually check the rubber gasket for
damage. Check the metal cover and filter
material for damage. Replace an element that is
damaged.
IMPORTANT:
Do not run the engine with the
filters removed.
STEP 8
Before installing the primary (outer) element,
apply talcum powder or similar to the inner seal
face before installing the filter. Install with closed
end outwards. Install the primary (outer) element,
closed end outwards.
NOTE: NEVER use a petroleum base lubricant
on the seal area. Petroleum lubricant could
“glue” the cover to the element seal and
damage the element.
STEP 9
Install the air cleaner cover, rotate clockwise and
push the locking tab back into position to lock the
cover in place.
Change the rudder dust valve (6), if equipped.
