Inspection and replacement
(1) Take out the element every 100 – 200 hours and blow compressed air (less than 7kgf/cm
2
) from the inside and clean.
(Clean the dust deposit on the dustpan also.)
(2) If soot or oil has stuck to the element, immerse it in neutral detergent for about 15 minutes and then wash by shaking
several times. Rinse in clean water sufficiently and dry naturally.
(3) When the air cleaner is used in dust place, clean it earlier.
(4) After cleaning 6 times or once every year, replace the element with new one.
(5) After completion of cleaning, apply light from the inside of the element. It should be replaced with new one if puncture,
pinhole, and especially thinner part is observed or if the gasket is broken.
(6) Do not use the element before drying completely.
