    Rotate Primary filter element anticlock wise to remove. Do not use excessive force. If filter does not pull out with ease, check for unlock position to remove safely.


  4. Clean primary element by tapping gently on palm of your hand. DO NOT tap element against a hard surface. Clean element with blowing compressed air (Max pressure of 1.3 Bar / 20 PSI). Hold nozzle next to inner surface, and move up and down pleats.

    IMPORTANT: DO NOT direct air against outside of element, as it forces dirt through to inside.
