pressure must not exceed 276 kPa to
prevent damage to the filter element.
• Dry the filter element using warm,
flowing air (71° C) max), or allow the
element to air dry. Do not use a light bulb
to dry the filter element because damage
could result.
Compressed Air Method
• Blow compressed air from inside to the
outside of dry filter element. Do not
exceed 689 kPa to prevent damage to the
element.
• Keep the air hose nozzle at least 5 cm
from filter and move the nozzle up and
down while rotating the filter element.
Inspect for holes and tears by looking
through the filter toward a bright light.
5. Inspect the new filter for shipping damage.
Check the sealing end of the filter. Do not
install a damaged filter.
6. Insert the new filter properly into the air
cleaner body. Make sure the filter is sealed
properly by applying pressure to the outer rim
of the filter when installing. Do not press on
the flexible center of the filter.
7. Reinstall the cover and secure the latches.
8. Reset the indicator if it is showing red.
