Shaker Hood Air Filter Cleaning
Shaker air filters are made of a unique, washable
synthetic material. Base program air filters with
paper media cannot be washed. All filters follow
the same service interval, though Shaker systems
substitute a cleaning while paper air filter
elements are to be replaced.
1. Remove the air filter from the intake and set
the filter clamp aside.
2. Measure the length of the filter media.
3. Fill a bucket with warm clean water to the
depth matching the filter media measurement
and add a mild household detergent or air
filter cleaning solution.
NOTE:
Never use strong detergents, high pressure, or
gasoline on air filters.
4. Without allowing the solution to flow back into
the inside of the air filter, submerge the filter
media into the water and let it soak for ten
minutes.
5. Empty the bucket filled with dirty water and
repeat steps 3 and 4.
6. Refill the bucket with clean warm water and
rinse the filter by rotating the filter.
NOTE:
The water should be clean with no signs of dirt in
the bucket.
7. Allow the filter to air dry. Reinstall the filter on
the intake system once it is dry.
NOTE:
Do not use forced air pressure to dry the air filter
as damage may occur and void the warranty.
