CLEANING

Donaldson Radialseal™ Air Cleaner

A remote mounted Donaldson Radialseal™ air cleaner provides the air filtering function. The paper filter element slides over an outlet tube inside the air cleaner canister with radial sealing action, eliminating the possibility of dust leaks due to improper filter installation. Intake design, internal baffling, and a Vacuator™ valve provide dust separation and automatic precleaning action. Daily or frequent servicing of the air cleaner is not required. Use the air restriction gauge on the air cleaner outlet to indicate when the air filter needs servicing -- a red flag will appear when the filter is overly restricting airflow into the engine.

IMPORTANT: Use only Donaldson air filter elements for replacement (Donaldson P822686 or Walker 5090-1). Aftermarket filters may not seal properly or filter efficiently.

Clean and inspect the paper element after every 100 hours of service and replace the element yearly or after six (6) cleanings (or when dirty or dam- aged). More frequent cleaning may be required when operating in extremely dusty conditions as indicated by the air restriction gauge. Service the air cleaner as follows:

1. Release the top and bottom cover latches and

remove the air cleaner cover. Wash the cover

and Vacuator™ valve. Check that these com-

ponents are in good condition. The Vacuator™

valve is subject to wear and deterioration and

should be replaced yearly or when damaged.

The lips of the valve should close and fit togeth-

er; any cracks, deformation, or wear in the valve

is cause for replacement.

IMPORTANT: The Donaldson air cleaner uses a dry paper-type air filter element. NEVER apply oil to the paper element.

2. Remove the filter element by pulling it out of the

canister. There will be some initial resistance as

the filter seal breaks loose and slides off of the

outlet tube. Gently move the end of the filter up

and down and side to side or twist to loosen the

seal. Use gentle action to minimize the amount

of dust dislodged as the filter is removed.

3. Clean the filter element using low pressure

compressed air [less than 100 PSI (689 kPa)].

Blow out the filter from the interior of the ele-

ment while turning the element.

NOTE: Washing the element in water or clean-

ing solution is not recommended. Replace the

element if it does not clean up with compressed

air.
