Washing Primary Element

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to filter:

  • NEVER wash element in gasoline or any solvent.

  • NEVER use compressed air on a wet element.

  • DO NOT oil element.

3. Allow element to dry completely before using. This usually takes from one to three days. DO NOT oven dry or use drying agents. Protect element from freezing until dry.
