Service Instructions & Installation Tips

D-2MAINTENANCED-2

For Engine Air Filter

1Release the Seal Carefully

Unlatch and remove the service cover of the air cleaner. Make certain the latches are folded back against the cover so that they donít hinder filter removal/installation. Most latches

are spring loaded to fold back when open. The filter fits tightly over the outlet tube, creating the critical seal on the inside diameter of the filter endcap. The filter should be removed gently to reduce the amount of dust dislodged. There will be some initial resistance, similar to breaking the seal on a jar. Gently move the end of the filter back and forth to break the seal.

2Avoid Dislodging Dust from the Filter

Gently pull the filter off the outlet tube and out of the housing. Avoid knocking the filter against the housing.

3Clean Sealing Surface

of the Outlet Tube

Use a clean cloth to wipe the sealing surface. Dust on the outside diameter of the

outlet tube could hinder an effective seal and cause leakage. Make sure that all contaminant is removed before the

new filter is inserted.

4Clean the Inside of

the Outlet Tube

Carefully wipe the inside of the outlet tube

with a clean cloth. Dirt accidently transferred to the inside of the outlet tube will reach the engine and cause wear.

(Engine manufacturers says that it takes only a few grams of dirt to ëdustí an engine!) Be careful not to damage the sealing area on the tube.

5Check the Old Filter for Leak Clues

Visually inspect the old filter for any signs of leaks. A streak of dust on

the clean side of the filter is a telltale sign. Remove any cause

of leaks before installing new filter.

6Inspect the New Filter for Damage

Inspect the new filter carefully, paying attention to the inside of

the open end, which is the sealing area.

NEVER install a damaged filter.

7Insert the New RadialSealô Filter

by Hand

Insert carefully. Seat the new filter by hand, making certain it is completely into the air cleaner housing before latching the cover in place. If the cover hits the filter before it is fully in place, remove the cover and push (by hand) the

filter further into the air cleaner and try again. The cover should go on with no extra force.

Never use the latches on the cover to force the filter into the air cleaner! It is tempting to assume the cover will do the job of seating the filter ñ but it will not! Using the latches to push the filter in could cause damage to the housing and will void the warranty.

Donaldson filters with RadialSeal™ Sealing Technology are self-aligning, self-centering, and self-sealing. A new filter has a dry lubricant to aid installation. The critical sealing area will stretch slightly, adjust itself and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. To complete a tight seal, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim of the filter, not the flexible center. (Avoid pushing on the center of the urethane end cap.) No cover pressure is required to hold the seal. Again, do NOT use the service cover to push the filter into place!

When the filter in is place, put the service cover back on, making sure the Vacuator™ Valve points down. Inspect the Vacuator ™ Valve for cracks or dust hang-ups to insure that it is functioning properly. Re-fasten the latches.

8Check Connections for Tight Fit

Make sure that all clamps, bolts, and connections in the entire air intake system are tight. Check for holes in piping, and repair if needed.
