Assembling filter element
Clean inside of the air cleaner housing with a clean damp cloth, being careful not to damage the
safety element (if fitted).
Check if there is damage of the filter element by using a light. If finding tiny cracks or small holes in
the filter element or damage of the gasket, replace it with a new one.
Insert the filter element deeply into the filter housing.
Remove dust of the evacuator valve and clean inside of the cover.
Assemble the cover with the evacuator valve facing downwards.
If the dust is not removed by tapping, use the
compressed air (less than 500kPa (5bar; 72psi))
from inside to outside as shown in the right
figure to remove the dust and dirt. And clean
inside the filter element with a clean damp cloth.
