SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

METHOD B

1Soak the filter for 15 minutes in warm water containing a mild detergent.

2Rinse the filter with running water below 1.4 bar (20 PSI).

3Shake off excess water and allow to air dry.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to dry the filter with heat or compressed air and do not install until thoroughly dry as the filter may rupture. It is recommended that a new filter is installed at this service and the washed one put aside for installation at a subsequent service. Store the spare filter in a dry place and wrap it to prevent dust contamination or damage.

NOTE: Wash the filter more frequently when operating in extremely dusty conditions.

NOTE: Replace the filter when holes or tears are visible.

NOTE: The element may be washed a maximum of 10 times.

Reinstall the element into its frame and check the seal, 1, around the perimeter of the element for nicks or cracks. Replace the element if any damage is found.

Clean the filter with a damp, lint--free cloth.
