Air Filter

1.Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element as shown in Figure 24.

2.Tap the paper filter element (Figure 24) several times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 30 psi (207 kPa, 2.1 kgf/cm2)] through the filter elementfromtheaircleanercaseside. NEVER brushoffdirt. Brushing will force dirt into the fibers. Replace the paper filter element if it is excessively dirty.

3.Clean foam element in warm, soapy water or nonflammable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip the element in clean engineoilandcompletelysqueezeouttheexcessoilfromthe element before installing.
