8.Tap the paper element on a hard surface several times or use compressed air not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa) through the filter from the wire screen side to remove any excess dirt. If the paper element is excessively dirty, replace it.
NOTE: Never try to brush dirt off the paper element; brushing forces the dirt into the fibers.
