Cleaning the Main Filter

It is advisable to replace the filter when it is dirty. How-

ever, in a new filter is not immediately available, it is

permissible to clean the main filter if you observe the

following practices.

1. Never immerse the filter in water since dirt can be

transferred to the clean air side of the filter. In addi-

tion, the filtering ability of the treated paper element

will be significantly reduced.

2. If compressed air is used never exceed a pressure

of 40 PSI. Always use a dispersion type nozzle to

prevent filter damage and clean from the inside to

the outside.
