CLEANING
Do not use petrol or inflammable
solvents to wash the filtering element,
in order to avoid fires or explosions.
Do not use additives or fluid detergents,
as this would lead to moisture build-up
inside the filter casing. Use compressed
air only.
u Blow the filtering element (3) with
compressed air.
NEVER SMEAR THE FILTERING
ELEMENT WITH OIL. Any oil seeping into
the belt casing would damage the belt and
cause it to slip.
