					be cleaned but the dirt holding capac-
					ity of the filter is reduced with each
					cleaning. The chance of dirt reaching
					the clean side of the filter while clean-

					ment, we strongly recommend instal-
					ling an optional safety element to pro-
					vide additional engine protection.

					place the safety element after servic-
					ing the primary element three times.
