Remove the wing nuts and the air
cleaner cover. Remove the ele-
ments and separate them.
Carefully check both elements for
holes or tears and replace if
damaged.
Foam element: Clean in warm
soapy water, rinse and allow to
dry thoroughly. Or clean in high
flash-point solvent and allow to
dry. Dip the element in clean
engine oil and squeeze out all the
excess. The engine will’ smoke
during initial start-up if too much
oil is left in the foam.
Paper element: Tap the element
lightly several times on a hard sur-
face to remove excess dirt, or
blow compressed air through the
filter from the inside out. Never try
to brush the dirt off; brushing will
force dirt into the fibers.
