(a)
, to blow dirt
and dust from element.
CAUTION:
Air pressure must not exceed 100 psi.
3. Run fresh water through grommet hole
(a)
until water
runs clear.
CAUTION:
DO NOT
use solvents, fuel oil, or gasoline
to wash filter.
4. Plug or cover hole in air cleaner
(b
) using a cork or
tape to prevent dirty water from entering inside of
element. Soak air cleaner
(c)
in a solution of warm
water and a low suds detergent for at least 15 min-
utes. Longer periods of time (up to several hours) of
soaking may be required, depending on how dirty the
element is.
5. Remove air cleaner from wash and repeat rinse
described in Step 3. Allow element to air dry in a dust-
free area.

use heat to speed drying.
6. Inspect grommet before assembly and replace it if it
is worn or damaged. Install grommet on element
carefully to avoid cutting it.

1.17 Low Maintenance Air Cleaner
This air cleaner is self-cleaning and uses the movement of the machine to shake dust and dirt loose from the air cleaner
element while the rammer is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this element will not require cleaning and
should not be removed from the machine. If the element does become plugged with dirt, the engine will begin to lose
power. In this case the air cleaner element can be removed and cleaned as described below. Replace element if it
becomes so plugged with dirt it can no longer be cleaned.
