6. Wash the foam element cover per instructions below
then allow to dry thoroughly.
7. Reinstall foam cover to the air filter element.

CAUTION
The air filter element must be intact or the engine will suck in dust and dirt,
resulting in a shorter service life of the engine.
Water should be prevented from entering into the filter when washing the
vehicle.
The filter element shall be cleaned gently without twisting to prevent it
from cracking. Never wash it with gasoline or any acid, alkaline or organic
volatile oil to avoid its aging, which will result in reducing the effect of the
air filter oil to catch particles before they enter the engine. Replace the filter
element with a new one if it is broken or cracked.
