(6) Air cleaner (Dry type)
① Cleaning filter element
Remove the cover and pull the primary element
straight out, ensuring the safety filter element
remains in place.
When cleaning the element in the working field,
tap the element by hand to remove the dust.
▶Do not tap the element on a
hard place when cleaning.
▶If the element is cracked,
change it with new one.
Notice
If the dust is not removed by tapping, use
compressed air (less than 500kPa (5bar; 72psi))
from inside to outside as shown in the right
figure to remove the dust and foreign materials.
And clean inside the filter element with a clean
damp cloth.
② Assembling filter element
Clean the inside of the air cleaner housing using a clean damp cloth, being careful not to damage the
safety element.
Check if there is damage inside the filter element by using a light. If there is a tiny crack or small hole
in the filter element or the gasket is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Insert the filter element deeply into the filter housing.
Remove the dust of the evacuator valve and clean the inside of the cover.
Assemble the cover with the evacuator valve placing downwards.
