SECTION 1  
Introduction  
1.1  
General Product Information  
The engine filter system is designed to protect the turbine engine from foreign object damage  
and micro erosion when operating in normal and severe environmental conditions. 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.

SECTION 3  
Inspection/Test Requirements  
3.1  
General  
This section covers the basic maintenance and service requirements necessary for safe  
operation and continued airworthiness of the Model 1206 and 1407 Engine Filter Systems.  
The service and inspection intervals designated herein are the maximum allowable and  
should not be exceeded.  
3.2  
Service Intervals  
When severe or unusual environmental conditions exist or as flight requirements  
dictate, it is the responsibility of the operator to increase the frequency and scope of  
inspections necessary to ensure safe operation. Due to the operational nature of a  
"barrier" type filter, an important criteria for safe and successful operation is an unobstructed  
inlet/filter system. This can be accomplished by visual inspection of the filter through the  
inlet fairing prior to each flight. Where as small suspended particles on the outside of the  
filter element do not cause an appreciable airflow restriction, large, obvious debris such as  
leaves, brush, litter, etc., should be removed prior to flight. Good judgment and practice will  
ensure safe operation as well as long filter life.  
Inspections, scheduled and conditional, shall be performed by qualified personnel and in  
accordance with standard aircraft practice. Compliance with all applicable Service Bulletins  
and Airworthiness Directives is mandatory.  
Refer to paragraphs 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 for post cleaning inspections.

SECTION 4  
Filter Element Servicing  
4.1  
General  
To insure proper function and maintain a high level of filtration efficiency, great care should  
be taken when handling the element. The element is most likely to be damaged during  
servicing than in operation. Special care should be taken when removing and reinstalling the  
inlet cowling, as well as when removing and replacing the element from the duct. The  
pleated material’s fragile wire mesh is easily damaged or deformed when allowed to scrape  
against other objects. Careful attention to the following section will assure full service from  
the filter element.  
4.2  
Removal And Reinstallation of Element  
a) Remove the inlet cowl per Bell instructions, DO NOT SCRAPE INLET FAIRING ON  
FILTER MEDIA.  
b) Loosen the sixteen 1/4 - turn fasteners holding the elements in place and carefully remove  
them from the duct.  
c) Reinstallation is reverse of above.  
4.3  
Filter Element Cleaning  
a) Holding the element clean side up. Gently tap the element to dislodge any large  
imbedded debris and dirt.  
b) Use only INTEC filter cleaner, PN 40- 15  
Severe conditions: Soak element, dirt side down, in a pan of sufficient depth to allow  
complete coverage with INTEC filter cleaner. Allow soak for 20 to 60 minutes, depending on  
condition. Remove element and shake thoroughly to remove dirty cleaner.  
Normal conditions: Spray INTEC filter cleaner liberally onto the entire element for ten  
minutes. Alternatively, soak element in a shallow pan of filter cleaner for ten minutes.  
DO NOT use Gasoline  
DO NOT use Jet A or Kerosene  
DO NOT use Caustic Cleaning Solution  
DO NOT use Detergents  
DO NOT use Parts Cleaning Solvents  
DO NOT use Pressure or Steam Cleaners  
DO NOT use High Pressure Hose Nozzles  
CAUTION: Failure to service the element correctly will harm the filter media by reducing its  
filtration efficiency, restricting airflow, and/or a reduction in service life.

SECTION 4  
Filter Element Servicing (cont.)  
c) Rinse the element with low pressure water from a garden hose. Always flush from the  
inside to the outside to avoid driving particles further into the filter media.  
d) After rinsing, gently shake off the excess water and set filter aside. Allow the element to  
dry naturally. It is permissible to set in direct sunlight for drying.  
DO NOT use Compressed Air  
DO NOT use Open Flame  
DO NOT use Hair Dryers or Heat Guns  
4.3.1 Inspection - Severe Conditions  
In severe environments, it may be necessary to clean and inspect the element more  
frequently than recommended in Section 3. An element used in such conditions should be  
replaced after not more than 1000 hours of operation. Regardless of the actual time in  
service, the physical condition of the element must remain the most important factor to  
determine the serviceability of the element.  
At each cleaning carefully inspect the elements as follows:  
a) Inspect the fine mesh on the forward surface of the element pleats. Complete erosion of  
more than .50 in. is cause for element rejection.  
b) Inspect the course mesh on the aft surface of the element. Any evidence of mesh wire  
wear or general signs of mesh deterioration are cause for element rejection.  
c) After cleaning and before reoiling, hold the element up to a light and check for holes in the  
element material greater than .020( it is normal to observe pinholes in the filter media  
particularly at the pleat folds. These pinholes will not allow the passage of dirt once the  
element is oiled). Close the holes if present using a fine pick to reposition the media  
material to cover the hole.  
d) Check the condition of the element assembly:  
- Frames for security  
- Seal strips for deterioration and evidence of gaps between the element and duct flange  
- Fasteners for security, loose rivets, or worn pins.  
- Wash nozzle, tube and valve assembly for security.  
Repair any defects as required.  
When operating in the most severe conditions it is highly recommended that a serviceable  
set of pre oiled elements are available. This will allow continued service while the previously  
installed set is being cleaned, inspected and reoiled.

SECTION 4  
Filter Element Servicing (cont.)  
4.3.2 Inspection – Normal conditions.  
At each 150 hours of operation or upon activation of the low inlet pressure warning light,  
Remove the elements and inspect in accordance with paragraphs 4.3.1a, b, c and d.  
Elements should be replaced after 1500 hours in service.  
4.4  
Oiling The Filter Element  
CAUTION: Use only Oil, PN 40 – 10 or PN 40-10CW  
AeroFilter oil is a compounded mineral based blend, formulated with special polymers to form  
the tack barrier. A dye has been added to show where the oil has been applied. Eventually  
the red color will fade but the oil will remain.  
CAUTION: Never use the filter element without AeroFilter oil.  
DO NOT use Engine Oil  
DO NOT use Transmission Oil  
DO NOT use Hydraulic Fluid  
DO NOT use Lightweight Oils (WD 40, LPS, etc)  
a) Fill sprayer with recommended quantity of Aerofilter oil (8 Fluid Ounces).  
b) Charge sprayer with compressed air.  
c) Apply oil to the filter element with smooth, complete passes parallel to pleats.  
d) Repeat 90 degrees to pleats.  
e) Use all of the measured quantity of oil.  
f) Wait 30 minutes for proper wicking and lightly re-oil any light areas.  
NOTE  
Do not over-oil the element. Proper absorption is achieved when the filter media is  
completely wicked and any surplus oil has been allowed to drip from the element.  
The filter element is now ready for installation. Ref. Par. 4.2.
