9.9 Cleaning Air Filter Element
To clean the element, use clean dry compressed air
on the inside of the element. Air pressure at the nozzle
must not exceed 29 PSI (2kgf/cm²). Maintain reason-
able distance between the nozzle and the filter.
•
The air cleaner will only fulfill this function if it is
correctly and regularly maintained. A poorly main-
tained air cleaner will mean loss of power, exces-
sive fuel consumption and a reduction in engine life.
NOTE :
•
Do not run the engine with filter element removed.
