2. Remove wing nut ( , [Figure 8]) and the element
assembly.
3. Separate foam element ( , [Figure 8]) from paper element
. Check both elements for holes or tears and replace if
necessary.
4. To clean the foam element wash in a solution of household
detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly or wash in
a nonflammable solvent. Allow to dry thoroughly. Soak the
element in clean engine oil and squeeze out excess oil.
Too much oil will cause engine to smoke on initial start-up.
5. To clean the paper element, tap lightly on a hard surface to
remove dirt or blow out with compressed air from the inside
out. Do not use a brush to remove dirt. This can push dirt
into the fibers. Replace the filter if it is excessively dirty.

7. Reassemble the air cleaner.
CAUTION
If the air cleaner element is seriously contaminated,
start-up failure, poor output and malfunctions of the engine
may result.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine
wear will result.
Fastening Hardware
Check all fastening hardware to ensure it is all adequately
tightened and that none is missing or broken.
