When cleaning with pressure water, use 40 psi (280 kPa) maximum pressure to prevent element damage.
Soot Filters
Soot filters are used to remove soot and other large airborne particles from the air intake system. The panel-type soot filter is made of a bonded fiber, structually supported with scrim netting.Soot filters are recommended for use in any application where there is a possibility for exhaust air to be induced into the engine air intake system.The soot filters should not be cleaned. Replace the filter whenever the air cleaner elements are serviced.
Do not clean elements by bumping or tapping them on hard objects.Inspect an element after cleaning. Do not use an element with damaged pleats, gaskets or seals.
Have spare elements on hand to use when cleaning used ones.Panel type air cleaners can be cleaned in the same manner.Pressure Air - 30 psi (205 kPa) Maximum
