DON'T
REMOVE
ELEMENT FOR
INPECTION
Such a check will always do more harm to your engine
than good. Ridges of dirt on the gasket sealing surface
can drop on the clean filter side when the gasket
is released. Stick with the schedule. If you are on
restriction maintenance, follow your reading or get a new
indicator if you don't trust it.
NEVER
RAP AN
ELEMENT TO CLEAN
IT. THIS WILL ONLY
DESTROY IT.
Rapping hard enough to knock off dust often damages
the element and destroys your engine protection. Deeply
embedded dirt is never released by tapping. It's always
safer to keep operating until you can change to a fresh
filter.
NEVER
JUDGE
YOUR ELEMENT'S
LIFE BY LOOKING
AT IT.
A dirty filter may still have plenty of life left, while carbon
contamination is not visible to the eye. And you can't
see the dirt that is embedded deep within the filter paper.
Your best bet for lowest filter maintenance costs and
best engine performance is to follow a restriction gauge.
It's a smart, low-cost investment.
NEVER
LEAVE AN
AIR CLEANER OPEN
LONGER THAN
NECESSARY.
Your open air cleaner is a direct entry to your engine. If
the element is not going to be changed and reassembled
immediately, cover the opening. The only way to be sure
nothing got in is to be sure nothing gets in.
THE IMPORTANT "DON'TS" TO ALWAYS REMEMBER:
DON'T
OVERLOOK A
WORN OR
DAMAGED GASKET
IN THE HOUSING
If your cleaner has a cover gasket, replace it with a new
one. Always check to be sure no piece of the old gasket
remains in the housing and that the gasket is not worn.
If your filter model calls for a new gasket with each use,
never reuse the old one.
DON'T
USE A
DENTED OR
BUNCHED FILTER
ELEMENT.
Never install a dented or punctured element, because
it cannot protect properly against contamination. A
dent can make a firm seal impossible or can indicate
damaged media. An element with bunched pleats saps
engine power and fuel dollars right from the start.
NEVER
USE A
WARPED COVER
ON A HOUSING
Replace with a new cover as soon as possible. A
warped or damaged cover cannot make a proper seal.
Also check to make sure there is no damage to the air
cleaner housing that could cause a leak.
NEVER
SUBSTITIUTE AN
INCORRECT
ELEMENT MODEL
NUMBER
Elements may look almost identical but can differ by a
fraction of an inch in length - a difference that makes a
firm seal impossible. You're always better off using the
dirty element until you can get the correct model.
