EPG Air Cleaners

LIGHT DUST AIR CLEANERS

Durable, Corrosion-Free Air Cleaner

Improved Reliability, Superior Engine Protection, Easiest Serviceability

The EPG air cleaner series, which

incorporates Donaldson RadialSeal™
Sealing Technology, offers improved
reliability and durability, reduced
weight and costs, and better
serviceability.

EPG air cleaners: conquer

underhood space limitations; are
corrosion-free and lighter in weight
than traditional metal units; are
more sturdy than ever before; and
have a reliable, easy-to-service
design.

The filter inside the air cleaner is

also quite different from filters with
metal end caps. The one-piece
molded end caps encase the ends
of the media and filter liners. The
filter fits over the housing outlet
tube, creating a reliable seal — Whether you are going to service by miles, hours or restriction, keep accurate maintenance records and log or track
without the hassle of separate your filter changes.

This EPG RadialSeal™ Air Cleaner is part of a complete Donaldson intake

system. The entire engine air intake system is made of molded plastic.
Between the intake scoop and the air cleaner are Donaldson Strata™ tubes,
which provide pre-cleaning. Particulate from this stage is scavenged off and The EPG Air Cleaner, which fits neatly under the hood, has RadialSeal™ Sealing

Service Instructions

This servicing information is provided as a best practices guide. It is not intended to replace or supersede the
service instructions supplied by your engine or vehicle manufacturer.

1 Check the Restriction

Measure the restriction of the air cleaner with a Donaldson filter service
indicator, service gauge or water manometer. Use the restriction tap
provided on the air cleaner or at the transfer pipe. Replace the filter only
when the restriction level has reached the maximum recommended by the
engine or equipment manufacturer or on a regular service schedule.

2 Remove the Filter

Unfasten or unlatch the service cover.
The RadialSeal™ filter fits tightly over the
outlet tube to create the critical seal,
so there will be some initial resistance,
similar to breaking the seal on a jar.
Gently move the end of the filter back
and forth to break the seal. Rotate while
pulling the filter straight out. Avoid
knocking the filter against the housing.

3 Clean Out the Vacuator™

Valve
Remove the Vacuator Valve and clean out
any dust found in the drop tube. Reinstall
Vacuator Valve or replace if found worn or
damaged. If your air cleaner is equipped Make sure the valve is flexible and not
with a Vacuator Valve, visually check and inverted, damaged or plugged. Replace it
physically squeeze it. if damaged or if it looks like any of these
images. A damaged or missing Vacuator™
Valve will disrupt the designed flow of air
through the air cleaner.

4 Inspect the Old Filter

Inspect the old filter for any signs of leaks.
A streak of dust on the clean side of the
filter is a telltale sign. Eliminate any source
of air leaks before installing the new
primary filter.

5 Visually Inspect the Safety Filter

If your air cleaner has a safety filter, do a visual inspection for
damage. Verify that the safety filter is properly seated in the
housing. Do not remove the safety filter unless it is damaged or
due for replacement. The safety filter should be replaced every
three primary filter changes. When you remove the safety filter,
replace it immediately or make sure you cover the air cleaner
outlet tube to avoid admitting any contaminant.

LIGHT DUST AIR CLEANERS

6 Clean Both Surfaces of the
Outlet Tube
Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the filter
sealing surface and the inside of the outlet
tube. Contaminant on the sealing surface could
hinder an effective seal and cause leakage.

7 Inspect the New Filter

Visually inspect the new filter, paying special
attention to the sealing area which is inside the
open end.

As you inspect the filter’s RadialSeal take care

not to wipe the sealing surface. The factory
has placed a dry lubricant on the seal which
aids in installation and removal. NEVER install a
damaged filter.

8 Insert the New Filter Properly

If you’re servicing the safety filter at this
change-out, carefully seat it into position before
installing the primary filter. Seat the filter by
hand, making certain it is completely inserted
into the air cleaner housing before securing the
cover in place. To complete a tight seal, apply
pressure by hand at the outer rim of the filter,
not the flexible center.

Never use the service cover to push the filter

into place since no cover pressure is required to
hold the seal. Using the cover to apply pressure
could damage the housing and cover fasteners,
and will void the warranty.

If the new filter is not fully in place, remove

the cover and push the filter further into the
air cleaner with hand pressure on the outer
rim. The cover should then go on with no extra
force. Then secure the service cover.

9 Check Connectors for a Tight Fit

Make sure restriction indicators are reset and in
proper working order.

Verify that all mounting bands, clamps, bolts,

and connections in the entire air cleaner system
are tight.

Check for holes in piping and repair or replace

as needed. Any leaks in the intake piping will
admit dust directly to the engine.
