FILTER IDENTIFICATION

Synthamax Air Filters do not require
oil. Service air filter as needed by
cleaning with common non-petroleum
all-purpose household cleaner and wa­ter. Simple Green®, Formula 409® or
equivalent works great. Apply cleaner
to outside of air filter and allow to
soak. Then flush filter clean from the
inside out with a garden hose and re­peat steps if necessary. Do not apply
high pressure water or air to clean fil­ter. Allow filter to air dry and reinstall.
