SECTION 4 

 

Filter Element Servicing 

 

4.1 General 

 

To insure proper function and maintain a high level of filtration efficiency, great care should 
be taken when handling the element.  The element is most likely to be damaged during 
servicing than in operation.  Special care should be taken when removing and reinstalling the 
inlet cowling, as well as when removing and replacing the element from the duct.  The 
pleated material’s fragile wire mesh is easily damaged or deformed when allowed to scrape 
against other objects.  Careful attention to the following section will assure full service from 
the filter element. 

 

4.2 

Removal And Reinstallation of Element 
 

a) Remove the inlet cowl per Bell instructions, DO NOT SCRAPE INLET FAIRING ON 

FILTER MEDIA. 

 
b) Loosen the sixteen 1/4 - turn fasteners holding the elements in place and carefully remove 

them from the duct.   

 
c) Reinstallation is reverse of above. 

 

4.3 

Filter Element Cleaning 

 
a) Holding the element clean side up.  Gently tap the element to dislodge any large 

imbedded debris and dirt.   

 
b) Use only INTEC filter cleaner, PN 40- 15 
 

Severe conditions:

 Soak element, dirt side down, in a pan of sufficient depth to allow 

complete coverage with INTEC filter cleaner. Allow soak for 20 to 60 minutes, depending on 
condition. Remove element and shake thoroughly to remove dirty cleaner. 

 

Normal conditions:

 Spray INTEC filter cleaner liberally onto the entire element for ten 

minutes. Alternatively, soak element in a shallow pan of filter cleaner for ten minutes. 
 
 

 

DO NOT use Gasoline 

 

 

DO NOT use Jet A or Kerosene 

 

 

DO NOT use Caustic Cleaning Solution 

 

 

DO NOT use Detergents 

 

 

DO NOT use Parts Cleaning Solvents 

 

 

DO NOT use Pressure or Steam Cleaners 

 

 

DO NOT use High Pressure Hose Nozzles 

 
CAUTION:

 Failure to service the element correctly will harm the filter media by reducing its 

filtration efficiency, restricting airflow, and/or a reduction in service life.
