UniFilter Maintenance
Congratulations, you have chosen
the best air filter cleaning system available for your vehicle.
The cost of your UniFilter
will be repaid many times over, via superior filtering ability resulting
in a reduction of engine wear. An increase in power and\or economy (in majority
of cases) and by the elimination of the cost of replacing paper filters.
WHEN TO CLEAN AND RE-OIL.
UniFilter air filters are supplied
pre-oiled with Filter Fix. Cleaning and
re-oiling in normal road cars subjected to sealed highway and suburban road
use will usually be required between 25,000 and 30,000 kilometres. Regular
inspection is advised (approximately every 5,000km) to ensure that the element
is not drying out.
More frequent maintenance may
be required in dusty conditions.
TO MAXIMISE MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS
Conventional Round and Oval
Filters; approximately every 5,000km-
-
Invert the filter to counteract
any draining of the
Filter Fix oil.
-
Rotate the filter to expose
a cleaner area to the point of air entry.
Flat panel style filters;
approximately every 5,000km - Rotate filter end for end.
HOW TO CLEAN
-
Remove foam or outer band from
the filter's expanded metal cage. In the case of 2 stage elements check the
inner foam for dirt or drying out. If the inner foam is dirty or dry service
the same as outer band.
-
Thoroughly wash out using MINERAL
TURPENTINE.
HOW TO RE-OIL
-
Completely saturate foam\bands
with warm UniFlow
Filter Fix oiling compound. A plastic
ice cream container is an ideal receptical for this purpose.
-
Fold the foam and squeeze,
DO NOT wring out, to remove all excess oil. Note: you cannot remove to much
oil by hand squeezing.
-
Replace bands\foam onto the
metal cage. In the case of very large or tall filters, use a plastic bag
over the cage to allow the foams to slide with ease onto the cage, then pull
out cage from between foams and cage.
WARNING
Never allow your UniFilter
element to dry out. It is the UniFilter
Filter Fix oil that provides the filter's
sticky surface that holds the dust particles; providing the unique dust retention
that UniFilter elements are renown for. In principle, UniFilter elements
work on the same basis as the human nose - a wet sticky passage collecting
dust as as air passes.
WARRANTY
UniFilter Australia warrants
that the element supplied is free from defects in workmanship and material.
Unless subject to abuse, neglect, incorrect fitment or other circumstances
beyond the control of UniFilter Australia; then the filter will be replaced
without cost for a period of 3 years from date of purchase. |
