Hey guys.
I've got a U-17 and B2301. Just want to check if I'm doing the right thing with regards to my air filters.
1. The manual says clean the air filter every 50 hours "or more frequently in dusty conditions". There's a drought here and it's become pretty dusty...and I'm moving dirt with both machines which results in clouds of dust every time I dump a load. How frequently is frequently?? Would cleaning once every 10 hours be adequate? Or should I really be cleaning like once per hour?
2. I don't have an air compressor so I've been using an 18v Makita blower to clean the filter. Please check out this video I took of me cleaning with it. Can anyone comment on whether this is actually a satisfactory way to clean the filter?
