The air

cleaner

is

of

the

"oil

bath

type",

which

operates

very

efficiently

to

remove

the

dust

from

the

air

drawn

into

the

carburetter.

As

this

type

of cleaner

ac-

cumulates

considerable

dust

and

clirt it requires

regular

cleaning

every

r,ooo

miles,

or

more

often

according

to the

prevailing

conditions,

the

frequency

being

more

readily

determined

by

experience

in the

territory

in

which

the

car

is

operated.

As

directed

on

page

3o,

the

filter

element

should

be

removed

bv

unscrewing

the

lon"g

bolt

(1,

which

passes

through

the

of the

silencer.

The

oil

container

should

be

emptied

and

carefully

cleaned,

the

filter

element

being

thoroughly

washed

in petrol

and

Jtto*"a

lo'dry.

Replace
