SSG Donaclone™ Service Instructions 1 Measure Restriction Measure the restriction of the air cleaner with a Donaldson filter service indicator, service gauge, or a water manometer via the restriction tap provided on the air cleaner or the transfer pipe. Replace the filter only when the restriction level has reached the maximum recommended by the engine or equipment manufacturer. 2 Check Vacuator ™ Valve On dust cups with Vacuator Valve, dust cup service is minimal; just check the Vacuator Valve to see that it is not inverted, damaged or plugged. If it is damaged, replace it immediately. 3 Check Tubes for Plugging When the dust cup is removed, check the tubes. Generally, Donaclone tubes are self-cleaning and need no service. Under rare circumstances, however, plugging can occur. Visual inspection is
5 Inspect the New Filter before Installing Inspect the new filter carefully, paying attention to the inside of the open end, which is the sealing area. NEVER install a damaged filter. A new Donaldson radial seal filter may have a dry lubricant on the seal to aide installation. 6 Insert New Radial Seal Filter Properly
If you are servicing the safety filter, this should be seated into position before installing the primary filter. Insert the new filter carefully by hand, making certain it is completely seated into the air cleaner housing before securing the cover in place.
The critical sealing area will compress slightly, adjust itself and distribute the sealing pressure evenly. To complete a tight seal, apply pressure by hand at the outer rim of the filter, not the flexible center. (Avoid pushing on the center of the end cap.) No cover pressure is required to hold the seal. NEVER use the service cover to push the filter into place! Using the cover to push the filter in could cause damage to the housing or cover fasteners and will void the warranty. If the service cover contacts the filter before it is fully in place, remove the cover and push the filter (by hand) further into the air cleaner and try again. The cover should go on with no extra force.
adequate. If the tubes carry light dust, remove it with a stiff brush.
Cleaning Note: Never clean Donaclone tubes with compressed air unless both the primary and safety filters are installed in the air cleaner. Do not steam-clean Donaclone tubes. 4 Change the Filter
Once the filter is in place, secure the service cover.
NEVER use the service cover to push the filter into place! Using
the cover to push the filter in could cause damage to the housing, cover fasteners and will void the warranty. Caution
When restriction indicates that filter service is required, unfasten or unlatch the service cover. Because the filter fits tightly over the outlet tube to create the critical seal, there will be some initial resistance, similar to breaking the seal on a jar. Grasp the filter service handle and pull the filter out, gently moving the filter back and forth to break the seal.
Avoid knocking the filter against the housing during removal. If the new filter is not to be installed immediately, be sure to cover the seal tube with a cloth or the housing cover so that dirt is not ingested.
