Cleaning Primary Air FilterElements

NOTICECaterpillar recommends certified air filter cleaning ser-vices available at participating Caterpillar dealers. TheCaterpillar cleaning process uses proven proceduresto assure consistent quality and sufficient filter life.

Observe the following guidelines if you attempt toclean the filter element:

Do not tap or strike the filter element in order to re-move dust.

Do not wash the filter element.

Use low pressure compressed air in order to removethe dust from the filter element. Air pressure must notexceed 207 kPa (30 psi). Direct the air flow up thepleats and down the pleats from the inside of the filterelement. Take extreme care in order to avoid damageto the pleats.

Do not use air filters with damaged pleats, gaskets, orseals. Dirt entering the engine will cause damage toengine components.

The primary air filter element can be used up to sixtimes if the element is properly cleaned and properlyinspected. When the primary air filter element iscleaned, check for rips or tears in the filter material.The primary air filter element should be replaced atleast one time per year. This replacement should beperformed regardless of the number of cleanings.

NOTICEDo not clean the air filter elements by bumping or tap-ping. This could damage the seals. Do not use ele-ments with damaged pleats, gaskets, or seals. Dam-aged elements will allow dirt to pass through. Enginedamage could result.

Visually inspect the primary air filter elements beforecleaning. Inspect the air filter elements for damageto the seal, the gaskets, and the outer cover. Discardany damaged air filter elements.

There are two common methods that are used toclean primary air filter elements:

• Pressurized air

• Vacuum cleaning

Page 28: SEBU7877-08 M.pdf

120 SEBU7877-08Maintenance SectionEngine Air Filter Primary Element - Clean/Replace

Pressurized Air

Pressurized air can be used to clean primary air filterelements that have not been cleaned more than twotimes. Pressurized air will not remove deposits ofcarbon and oil. Use filtered, dry air with a maximumpressure of 207 kPa (30 psi).

g00281692Illustration 153

Note: When the primary air filter elements arecleaned, always begin with the clean side (inside)in order to force dirt particles toward the dirty side(outside).

Aim the hose so that the air flows inside the elementalong the length of the filter in order to help preventdamage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream ofair directly at the primary air filter element. Dirt couldbe forced further into the pleats.

Vacuum Cleaning

Vacuum cleaning is another method for cleaningprimary air filter elements which require daily cleaningbecause of a dry, dusty environment. Cleaning withpressurized air is recommended prior to vacuumcleaning. Vacuum cleaning will not remove depositsof carbon and oil.

Inspecting the Primary Air FilterElements

g00281693Illustration 154

Inspect the clean, dry primary air filter element. Usea 60 watt blue light in a dark room or in a similarfacility. Place the blue light in the primary air filterelement. Rotate the primary air filter element. Inspectthe primary air filter element for tears and/or holes.Inspect the primary air filter element for light that mayshow through the filter material. If it is necessary inorder to confirm the result, compare the primary airfilter element to a new primary air filter element thathas the same part number.

Do not use a primary air filter element that has anytears and/or holes in the filter material. Do not usea primary air filter element with damaged pleats,gaskets or seals. Discard damaged primary air filterelements.

Storing Primary Air Filter Elements

If a primary air filter element that passes inspectionwill not be used, the primary air filter element canbe stored for future use.
