1 Engine Air Cleaner

.The air cleaner primary element can

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- ing and the possibility of filter damage makes cleaning a risk. Consider the risk of unwarrantable equipment damage when determining whether to clean or replace the primary ele- ment.

If you decide to clean the primary ele- ment, we strongly recommend instal- ling an optional safety element to pro- vide additional engine protection. Never clean a safety element. Re- place the safety element after servic- ing the primary element three times.

Clean or replace primary element if dirty (see note above before cleaning). Re- place primary element if damaged. Re- place primary element yearly or after six cleanings.
