AIR CLEANING SYSTEM
5.6.2. OUTER FILTER ELEMENT
The air cleaner outer element must be serviced whenever indicated by the air cleaner filter warning
light. Refer to "AIR CLEANER SERVICE INDICATOR AND OIL SIGHT GAUGE.
The element can be cleaned by either of the two methods: washing or compressed air. Washing is
the preferred method as it removes more dust and soot and restores the element to an almost new
condition. The result being better performance and longer intervals between the required element
service. It is recommended that a spare element be obtained for use while the serviced element is
drying. This will reduce unit down time to only a few minutes and will allow sufficient time to wash
and dry removed element properly.
WARNING! The filter element must be replaced after six washings.
Cleaning the element with compressed air is not considered an entirely satisfactory method. Some
dust will remain in the element causing more frequent servicing of the element. Use this method
only as a temporary measure until sufficient time is available to clean the element by washing.
Always wash the filter element when contaminated with greasy dust.
WARNING! After cleaning, if an element is to be stored for later use, place it in a
plastic bag and store in an element shipping container to protect against dirt
and damage.
