3. Pat the sides of the element with the palm of
the hand to remove dust trapped in the pleats.
IMPORTANT: Tapping the element against a hard
surface or with hard objects may dent or break the
element end cap seals.
4. Using low air pressure (not over 30 psi, 207
kPa), blow out remaining dust from the inside
out opposite normal air flow through the
element.
IMPORTANT: Be careful not to rupture the filter
element. Maintain d reasonable distance between
the air nozzle and the filter element when directing
air up and down the clean air side of the element
pleats.

WASHING ELEMENT
1. Washing may be necessary to remove soot or
oily materials
2. Agitate the element in warm water containing
a small amount of non sudsing type
detergent.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water hotter than the
hand can stand, as the element will be damaged.
Never wash the element with fuel oil, gas or solvent.
Do not oil the element.
3. Rinse the element with clean water. Shake
excess water from the element and allow it to
air dry.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry the element with
compressed air, as the air will rupture a wet
element. Also, do not install a wet element as the
tractor engine will not start.
4. After drying, check for damage by holding a
light bulb inside the element. If an even, fine
pattern of light is seen, the element is clean
and undamaged. A bright spot of light
indicates the element is damaged, and a new
element must be installed.
Change the element after six cleanings or
once a year.
