Donaldson Radialseal™ Air Cleaner
A remote mounted Donaldson Radialseal™ air
cleaner provides the air ltering function. The paper
lter element slides over an outlet tube inside the air
cleaner canister with radial sealing action, reducing
the possibility of dust leaks due to improper lter
installation. Intake design, internal bafing, and a
Vacuator™ valve provide dust separation and auto-
matic precleaning action. Daily or frequent servicing
of the air cleaner is not required. Use the air re-
striction gauge on the air cleaner outlet to indicate
when the air lter needs servicing -- a red ag will
appear when the lter is overly restricting airow into
the engine.
IMPORTANT: Use only Donaldson air lter ele-
ments for replacement (Donaldson P822686 or
Walker 5090-1). Aftermarket lters may not seal
properly or lter efciently.

Inspect the paper element after every 100 hours of
service and replace the element and safety lter
yearly (or when dirty or damaged). More frequent
replacement may be required when operating in ex-
tremely dusty con ditions as indicated by the air
restriction gauge. Ser vice the air cleaner as fol-
lows:
1. Release the top and bottom cover latches and
remove the air cleaner cover. Wash the cover
and Vacuator™ valve. Check that these com-
ponents are in good condition. The Vacuator™
valve is subject to wear and deterioration and
should be replaced yearly or when damaged.
The lips of the valve should close and t togeth-
er; any cracks, deformation, or wear in the valve
is cause for replacement.
2. Remove the lter element by pulling it out of the
canister. There will be some initial resistance
as the lter seal breaks loose and slides off of
the outlet tube. Gently move the end of the
lter up and down and side to side or twist to
loosen the seal. Use gentle action to minimize
the amount of dust dislodged as the lter is re-
moved.
3. Replace lter element.
NOTE: Washing the element in water or clean-
ing solution is not recommended. Do not try to
clean the element with compressed air.
