CAUTION
Do not use compressed air since it will damage
the filter media.
CAUTION
Do not use heat from any source to dry the AFS
element. Heat will shrink the filter media and
may damage the coring material within the filter
frames.
After rinsing, shake off the excess water and let the element dry at room or outside air
temperature (above freezing).
NOTE
After cleaning and before oiling of the dry filter
element, the pleats should be inspected and, if
required, straightened or crimped per the
procedure at paragraph 4.1 below.

peen and scratch an “X” through one of the unmarked boxes on the serviceability tag. Use
caution not to slip and injure yourself or damage the filter element. When the last unmarked box
is crossed through the filter assembly will have to be replaced when servicing is required again.
