2. Clean both filter elements if they are to be used.
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.
Clean
Paper element:
Tap the element lightly several times on a hard surface 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. Replace the paper element if
it is excessively dirty.
3. Securely install the elements and the air cleaner cover.
