9. Change the filter if any of the following conditions
occurs: There are two common methods that are used to
clean primary air filter elements:
• Restricted Air Filter indicator on the monitor
panel still comes on. • Pressurized air
• Exhaust smoke is still black after the installation • Vacuum cleaning
of a primary filter.
Aim the hose so that the air flows inside the element
along the length of the filter in order to help prevent
damage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream of
air directly at the primary air filter element. Dirt could
be forced further into the pleats.
Vacuum Cleaning
Vacuum cleaning is another method for cleaning
primary air filter elements which require daily cleaning
because of a dry, dusty environment. Cleaning with
pressurized air is recommended prior to vacuum
cleaning. Vacuum cleaning will not remove deposits
of carbon and oil.
