b. AVOID DISLODGING DUST FROM THE FILTER.
Gently pull the filter off the outlet tube and out of the
housing. Avoid knocking the filter against the
housing (Figure 7-7).
2. Clean the element as outlined in ELEMENT CLEANING.
Replace the element after six cleanings or annually,
whichever comes first.
3. Inspect all parts of the intake system and air cleaner. Be
sure to clean the sealing surface of the outlet tube and
the inside of the outlet tube.
4. Install the cleaned or new element into the air cleaner
body as follows:
a. INSPECT THE FILTER FOR DAMAGE. Always
look for filter damage, even if a new filter element is
being installed. Pay special attention to the inside of
the open end (sealing area). Do not install a
damaged filter.
b. INSERT THE FILTER PROPERLY. The seal area is
on the inside of the open end of the primary filter. A
new filter has a dry lubricant to aid installation. The
critical sealing area will stretch slightly, adjust itself
and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. To

Check for holes in piping. Leaks in the air intake system
may send dust directly to the engine.

1. Direct a jet of clean, dry air from the inside of the filter
element, perpendicular to the pleats (Figure 7-9).
2. Move the air jet up and down along the pleats, slowly
rotating the element, until no more dust is being
removed. Do not rupture the element with the nozzle or
the air jet.
