To change elements:
1. Loosen cover wing nut and remove cover from air
cleaner canister (Figure 25).
2. Remove wing nut and primary element. Inspect
element for damage. Damaged elements should
not be cleaned or reused.
3. Thoroughly clean the interior of the air filter
canister and vacuator valve.
4. If replacing safety element at this time (Figure 26),
remove wing nut and carefully slide safety ele-
ment out. Always discard this element and
replace with a new element and secure with wing
nut.
5. Install the new primary element and secure with
wing nut.
6. Position canister cover in place and secure with
cover wing nut.
Carefully follow these procedures to clean an element:
1. Remove loose particles from the filter with com-
pressed air (maximum 30 psi [206 kPa]) or water
hose (maximum 40 psi [275 kPa] without nozzle).
Rotate and apply pressure from the inside of the
element.
2. Soak filter in a non-sudsing detergent (such as
FM 1400) for at least 15 minutes. Never soak
more than 24 hours.
3. Swish filter around in the solution to remove
loosened dirt particles.
4. Rinse the filter from the inside out with a gentle
stream of water to remove all dirt and suds (less
than 40 psi [275 kPa], no nozzle). If the inside of
the element has been contaminated with dirty
water from the soaking, rinse from both sides.
5. Dry the filter before re-using. Circulate warm air
at less than 160° F (71° C). DO NOT use a light
bulb to dry the filter.
6. Inspect for holes or tears by looking through the
filter toward a bright light. Check for damaged
gaskets or metal parts. DO NOT re-use damaged
filters.
