NOTE
The air cleaner primary element must be serviced whenever
indicated by the air cleaner service indicator (WP 0004). The
primary element can be cleaned by either of two methods:
washing or compressed air.
Washing is the preferred method as it removes more dust and
soot and restores the element to an almost new condition. The
result being better performance and longer intervals between
required element service. It is suggested that a spare element
be available for use while the serviced element is drying. This
will reduce unit down-time to only a few minutes and will allow
sufficient time to service the restricted element properly.
A filter element must be replaced after six washings.
Cleaning the element with compressed air is not considered an
entirely satisfactory method. Some dust will remain in the
element causing more frequent servicing of the element. Use
this method only as a temporary measure until sufficient time is
available to clean the element by washing.
b. Stop engine. Remove dust from air Filter missing.
