REMARK
• Since the filtering ability of the filters decreases as they are aged, replace them every 500 operating
hours or every year.
• In an environment such as sandy ground, grassy terrain, etc. where the filters are clogged easily, clean
more frequently.
• If the filters are too clogged to clean, stained with oil, or extremely dirty, replace them with new ones.
For replacement, see “METHOD FOR REPLACING AIR CONDITIONER FRESH/RECIRC FILTERS
