3.
Inspect filter and discard if damaged. Do not
wash or reuse a damaged filter. Clean the filter as
follows:
Washing Method
A. Prepare a solution of filter cleaner and water
and soak filter element about 15 minutes.
Refer to directions on filter cleaner carton
for complete information.
B. After soaking filter for 15 minutes, rinse it
with clear water. Maximum water pressure
must not exceed 276 kPa (40 psi) to prevent
damage to the filter element. Rinse filter
from clean side to dirty to side.
C. Dry filter element using warm, flowing air
71°C (160° F) max), or allow element to air-
dry. Do not use a light bulb to dry the filter
element because damage could result.
Compressed Air Method
A. Blow compressed air from inside to the
outside of dry filter element. Do not exceed
689 kPa (100 psi) to prevent damage to the
element.
B. Keep air hose nozzle at least 5cm (2") from
filter and move nozzle up and down while
rotating the filter element. Inspect for holes
and tears by looking through the filter
toward a bright light.
