housing body.
Do not clean the filter element by striking or
hitting the filter against any object to shake the
debris from the filter element.
Clean the filter element with compressed air.
Remove dust from filter element by directing
the compressed air into the opening of the air
filter element.
Use 3 kg/cm

(40 psi) maximum air pressure
and hold the compressed air nozzle at least
2.5 cm (1") away from the pleats while clean-
ing. Make sure to keep the clean side of air
filter free of debris.
Visually inspect for damage to the filter ele-
ments and components. Use a light source to
help identify any defects in the media. If any
defects are observed discard the filter element
and replace with a new primary filter element.
Before any type of cleaning, a visual inspec-
tion of the filter is needed. If there is any dam-
age to the filter body, gaskets or endplates, do
not clean or reuse; the filter should be discard-
ed. Always clean filters in a clean environment,
observe strict inspection procedures and
repackage filters immediately after the clean-
ing process with appropriate materials.
Use observe proper safety precautions and
dispose of waste materials in an environmen-
tally compliant manner.
Re-install filter element into the air housing.

cleaning.

ement
The safety filter element should never be
cleaned since the safety filter is the last barri-
er to contaminant before it reaches engine/
equipment. The useful life of the safety filter is
equivalent to that of the primary air filter only
if the primary filter element is being regularly
cleaned. If the primary filter element is not
cleaned, the safety filter should be changed at
every third primary air filter change or after
one year of continuous service, whichever
occurs first.
