without nozzle.] Rotate and apply pressure from the inside of the
element.
2. Soak the filter in non-sudsing detergent (such as FM 1400) for at
least 15 minutes. Never soak longer than 24 hours.
3. Swish the filter around in the solution to remove loosened dirt parti-
cles.
4. Rinse the filter from the inside out with a gentle stream of water to
remove all dirt and suds [less than 40 psi (276 kPa), no nozzle.] If
the inside of the element has been contaminated with dirty water
from the soaking, rinse both sides.
