DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR OTHER VOLATILE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN ELEMENTS. THE ELEMENT OR THE ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED.
The dirty air cleaner element can be cleaned by one of three methods: (1) washing in a solution of water and detergent, (2) blowing with compressed air, or (3) washing with water alone. Detergent and water are best when the element is loaded with a combination of exhaust carbon, soot, oil and dust. Compressed air is effective when the element is loaded with dust. Washing with water alone will often work when air is not available and the element has only dust on it. Whichever method of cleaning is used, the element should be handled carefully to keep it from being punctured or dented. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE ELEMENT BY BEATING OR RAPPING IT. The main element, protected by steel lines, is strong enough to take normal handling, but it will not stand an unlimited amount of abuse. DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR OTHER VOLATILE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN ELEMENTS. The element or the engine could be damaged.Cleaning with Detergent and Water
COMPRESSED AIR CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. WEAR EYE PROTECTION, LONG SLEEVES AND GLOVES. NEVER USE MORE THAN 30 PSI (207 kPa) AIR PRESSURE.
1. If compressed air is available, remove the loose dust by blowing from the inside of the element. Use less than 30 psi (207 kPa), keep the nozzle at least one inch (2.54 cm) away from the element, and blow on the inside only. If compressed air is not available, run water through the element from the inside. Use a gentle water stream, less than 40 psi (276 kPa). 2. Soak the element in a solution of water and detergent.3. Gently swish the element around the solution to help loosen the dirt. 4. With a gentle stream of water, less than 40 psi (276 kPa), rinse the entire element until the water comes through the element clear. Good rinsing is important.5. Dry the element thoroughly before inspecting it. Mechanical dryers can be used, but heated air must be circulated and must be less than 160°F (71°C). DO NOT USE A LIGHT BULB TO DRY THE ELEMENT.Cleaning with Air Only
COMPRESSED AIR CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. WEAR EYE PROTECTION, LONG SLEEVES AND GLOVES. NEVER USE MORE THAN 30 PSI (207 kPa) AIR PRESSURE.
