NOTICE
Caterpillar recommends certified air filter cleaning services
that are available at Caterpillar dealers. The Caterpillar
cleaning process uses proven procedures to assure
consistent quality and sufficient filter life.
Observe the following recommendations if you attempt to
clean the filter element:
Never tap or strike the filter element in order to remove
dust.
Never wash the filter element.
Use low pressure compressed air in order to remove the
dust from the filter element. Air pressure must not exceed
206 kPa (30 psi). Direct the air flow up the pleats and
down the pleats from the inside of the filter element. Take
extreme care in order to avoid tearing or voiding the
pleats.
Service the air filter elements when the alert indicator for air filter restriction lights. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Alert Indicators".
