4.6 Oiling the Filter Element
CAUTION:
Use only FDC/aerofilter Oil, P/N 40–10 or PN 40–10CW
FDC/aerofilter Oil is a compounded mineral-based blend, formulated with special
polymers to form the tack barrier. A blue dye has been added to show where the oil
has been applied. Eventually the blue color will fade but the oil will remain.
CAUTION:
Never use the filter element without FDC/aerofilter Oil.
DO NOT use Engine Oil
DO NOT use Transmission Oil
DO NOT use Hydraulic Fluid
DO NOT use Lightweight Oils (WD-40, LPS, etc.)
a)
Fill sprayer with recommended quantity of FDC/aerofilter Oil (15 Fluid Ounces).
b)
Charge sprayer with compressed air.
c)
Apply oil to the filter element with smooth, complete passes parallel to pleats.
d)
Repeat above, applying oil with smooth, complete passes 90 degrees to pleats.
e)
Use all of the measured quantity of oil.
f)
Wait 30 minutes for proper wicking and
lightly
re-oil any light areas.
NOTE:
Do not over-oil the element. Proper absorption is achieved when the filter
media is completely wicked and any surplus oil has been allowed to drip from the
element.
The filter element is now ready for installation. Refer to paragraph
4.2
.
