Service Instructions
5
Inspect the New Filter before Installing
Inspect the new filter carefully, paying attention to the inside of
the open end, which is the sealing area. NEVER install a damaged
filter. A new Donaldson radial seal filter may have a dry lubricant
on the seal to aide installation.
6
Insert New Radial Seal Filter Properly
If you are servicing the safety filter, this
should be seated into position before
installing the primary filter.
Insert the new filter carefully by hand,
making certain it is completely seated
into the air cleaner housing before
securing the cover in place.
The critical sealing area will compress slightly, adjust itself
and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. To complete a tight
seal, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim of the filter, not the
flexible center. (Avoid pushing on the center of the end cap.)
No cover pressure is required to hold the seal. NEVER use the
service cover to push the filter into place! Using the cover to
push the filter in could cause damage to the housing or cover
fasteners and will void the warranty.
If the service cover contacts the filter before it is fully in place,
remove the cover and push the filter (by hand) further into the air
cleaner and try again. The cover should go on with no extra force.
Once the filter is in place, secure the service cover.
1
Measure Restriction
Measure the restriction of the air cleaner with a
Donaldson filter service indicator, service gauge, or
a water manometer via the restriction tap provided
on the air cleaner or the transfer pipe. Replace the
filter only when the restriction level has reached the
maximum recommended by the engine or equipment
manufacturer.
2
Check Vacuator™ Valve
On dust cups with Vacuator Valve, dust cup
service is minimal; just check the Vacuator
Valve to see that it is not inverted, damaged
or plugged. If it is damaged, replace it
immediately.
3
Check Tubes for Plugging
When the dust cup is removed, check the tubes. Generally,
Donaclone tubes are self-cleaning and need no service. Under rare
circumstances, however, plugging can occur. Visual inspection is
adequate. If the tubes carry light
dust, remove it with a stiff brush.
Cleaning Note: Never clean
Donaclone tubes with compressed
air unless both the primary and
safety filters are installed in the
air cleaner. Do not steam-clean
Donaclone tubes.
4
Change the Filter
When restriction indicates that filter service is
required, unfasten or unlatch the service cover.
Because the filter fits tightly over the outlet tube
to create the critical seal, there will be some initial
resistance, similar to breaking the seal on a jar.
Grasp the filter service handle and pull the filter out,
gently moving the filter back and forth to break the
seal.
Avoid knocking the filter against the housing during removal. If the
new filter is not to be installed immediately, be sure to cover the seal
tube with a cloth or the housing cover so that dirt is not ingested.
NEVER use the service cover to
push the filter into place! Using
the cover to push the filter in could
cause damage to the housing, cover
fasteners and will void the warranty.
