The Model 1206 and 1407 Engine Filter Systems consist of a duct assembly, left & right filter elements, low inlet pressure annunciator system, and a pilot actuated alternate air system. The filter elements are comprised of a specially formulated polymerized oil suspended by a pleated wire cloth and fabric matrix for the purpose of attracting and holding airborne dust particles. These filter elements are serviced by cleaning and re-oiling at regular intervals, or as required, based on engine performance loss or by visual inspection. The pilot actuated alternate air system is provided to bypass the filter elements in the event that engine performance is degraded due to filter blockage. The alternate air system should be inspected at regular intervals or prior to flight into environmental conditions that may require its use. 1.2 Scope of ICA This manual describes the airworthiness limitations, service instructions, inspection procedures, and testing of the engine filter systems and its individual components. Strict adherence to the information given herein will assure maximum filtration benefit and increased component life. 1.3 Precautions The following precautions are used throughout this manual and are defined as follows: WARNING: Maintenance procedure, practice, condition, etc. which if ignored could result in personal injury or loss of life.
