IMPORTANT: Never wash element in fuel or a strong cleaning agent.

Change both primary and secondary air cleaner elements at least every 1200 operating hours.

First rinse the filter element under running water to remove as much dirt as possible.

Then soak element for 15 minutes in lukewarm water, not above 32°C (90°F). If necessary, add a non-alkaline household detergent and wash filter.

Rinse filter element in clean running water with a pressure not exceeding 200 kPa (2 bar; 30 psi). Allow filter element to dry.
