1. Clean inside of air filter housing.
C AU T I O N
Do not tap or strike air filter element to remove dust. Damage to air filter element may
result.
Do not wash the air filter element.
Do not use air filter elements with damaged pleats, gaskets, or seals. Dirt entering engine
will cause damage to engine components.
Do not attempt to clean a secondary air filter element.
Do not use compressed air at pressure greater than 30 psi (207 kPa) to clean primary
element.
Failure to follow these cautions may result in damage to equipment.
N OT E
Use either low pressure compressed air or a vacuum to clean primary air filter element.
Direct airflow from inside element and up and down pleats rather than across pleats.
2. With assistance from Field Level Maintenance personnel, clean primary element.
3. Inspect primary element for tears, holes, damaged pleats, gaskets, or seals. Discard if damaged.
4. Inspect element using a work light. Light should be visible through the element when light is placed inside ele-
ment. If necessary, compare to a new element to confirm results.
C AU T I O N
Do not remove secondary air filter element until you have the new element ready to install.
This will reduce the possibility of dirt entering the engine. Failure to follow this caution may
result in damage to equipment.
