If the filters are still restricted in their function after the cleaning process (clogged, oily, greasy or damaged), they must be replaced. Only use original spare parts from Elmo Rietschle. Intake filter - F1 The filter cartridge becomes clogged depending on the degree of contamination of the intake air. It must be cleaned with compressed air at the aforementioned intervals, but at least every 200 hours.
