| . The air cleaner primary element can | |
| 4 |
| be cleaned but the dirt holding ca- |
|
| pacity of the filter is reduced with | |

|
| each cleaning. The chance of dirt |
|
| reaching the clean side of the filter | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| while cleaning and the possibility of |

|
| filter damage makes cleaning a risk. |
|
|
| Consider the risk of unwarrantable |
