Cleaning Engine Air Filter Primary Element
IMPORTANT:
The secondary (inner) element should NEVER be cleaned, only replaced.
IMPORTANT:
Air filter element cleaning is NOT recommended due to the possible degradation of the element
material.

followed. If any of the following conditions are found, the fi lter element MUST be replaced.
1. Hold a bright light inside element, and check carefully for holes.

interval. The secondary (inner) element should be replaced every third time the primary element is
changed. Refer to

for the required interval.
