Your new polyurethane air filter element has been designed to provide maximum dust
collecting efficiency, non-restrictive air flow, and economical element replacement, while
maintaining a lightweight filter. The element has been treated with a distinctive
treatment called a wetted agent and is approximately 98% efficient. The wetted agent is
an accompaniment in the efficient capturing of dust. In addition, the element has
received a fire retardant treatment. For the above reasons, replace the element each
100 hours of use, 12 months or when 50% covered with foreign material. DO NOT
WASH AND REUSE.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Remove existing filter and gasket from carburetor heat box and discard.
Step 2. Inspect heat box for condition making sure valve shaft and bushing is not
worn. If un-airworthy, repair with kit or replace worn carburetor heat box.
Step 3. Bolt filter in place with the one top bolt. Mark the two bottom hole locations
and carefully drill .196 diameter holes, be sure and capture the chips.
Step 4. Attach filter frame to carburetor heat box with screws, nuts and washers, one
on each side (furnished). Torque each nut to where the neoprene gasket is
compressed to ½ of its original thickness.
Step 5. Install filter element PN BA-6108 into frame, making sure the taper of element
is the same as the taper of the frame and contact is being made on all sides.
Step 6. Install grill with the 2 legs under the frame and the cross bars facing out. Align
the piano hinges and insert safety pin making sure it is in the locked position.
Step 7. Re-install cover plate on the cowl.
Step 8. NOTE: After initial installation of filter assembly, fill out FAA Form 337 for
return to service. On future replacement of parts this form will not be required.
SERVICING: Under normal conditions, replace filter element, PN BA-6108, after 100
hours use or 1 year intervals. Under severely dusty conditions, check daily
and replace when element is 50% covered with foreign material. For
Continued Airworthiness Instructions, see Form I-194.
