For these models: 3508B, 3512B, 3516B.

Before you start

  • Never run the engine without an air cleaner element installed. Never run the engine with a damaged air cleaner element. Never service the air cleaner element with the engine running since this will allow dirt to enter the engine.

Procedure

  1. Clean the filter elements with pressure air or wash the filter elements in warm water with a nonsudsing household detergent.
  2. If water and detergent are used to clean the filter elements, rinse the filter elements in clean water and allow the filter elements to air dry thoroughly.
  3. Use a 60 watt blue light in a dark room. Place the blue light in the primary air cleaner element. Rotate the primary air cleaner element.
  4. Inspect the primary air cleaner element for tears and/or holes. If it is necessary in order to confirm the result, compare the primary air cleaner element to a new primary air cleaner element that has the same part number.
  5. Do not use a primary air cleaner element that has any tears and/or holes in the filter material. Do not use a primary air cleaner element with damaged pleats, gaskets or seals. Discard damaged primary air cleaner elements.
