• Carefully pull out filter element.
• Use a jet of dry compressed air (max. 5 bar/70 psi) to blow
through the filter element from the inside outwards, moving it
up and down at the same time, until no further dust emerges.
• Tilt the filter element and hold it against the light (or shine
a light through it) to check for any cracks or other damage.
Change filter element if:
• The filter element or sealing ring is damaged

• There are soot-containing deposits
• Moist or oily
• When engine performance reduces or
• The color of the exhaust gas changes
