Cleaning the Filter Element
Clean the air filter using one of the following methods:
Washing—wash the filter to remove fine dust and dirt
embedded in the filter.
Compressed air—clean the filter with low pressure
compressed air if it has large particles or is not very
dirty.
Washing method:
1. Prepare a solution of filter cleaner and water and soak
the filter element about 15 minutes; refer to the
directions on the filter cleaner carton for complete
information.
2. After soaking the filter for 15 minutes, rinse it with
clear water. The maximum water pressure must not
exceed 40 psi to prevent damage to the filter element.
Rinse the filter from clean side to dirty to side.
3. Allow the filter to air dry before installing it in the
sprayer.
Compressed air method:
1. Blow the compressed air from inside to the outside of
the dry filter element. Keep the air hose nozzle at least 2
inches (6 cm) from the filter and move the nozzle up
and down while rotating the filter element.
Important
To prevent damage to the filter element,
do not exceed 25 psi air pressure.
2. Inspect for holes and tears by looking through the filter
toward a bright light.
Installing the Filter Element
1. If you are installing a new filter, inspect it for shipping
damage. Check the sealing end of the filter.
Important
Do not install a damaged filter.
2. Insert the filter into the air cleaner body. Ensure that the
filter is sealed properly by applying pressure to the
outer rim of the filter when installing. Do not press on
the flexible center of filter.
3. Install the cover and secure the strap (Fig. 28).
4. Close the air cleaner access door and the seat.
