Cleaning the Main Filter

NOTE: It is advisable to replace the filter when it is dirty. However,
in an emergency it is permissible to clean the main filter if you observe
the following practices.
1. Never immerse the filter in water since dirt can be transferred to
the clean air side of the filter.
2. If compressed air is used never exceed a pressure of 40 PSI.
Always use a dispersion type nozzle to prevent filter damage and
clean from the inside to the outside.
NOTE: Replace the air filter every 50 hours, and possibly more often
in very dirty conditions.
