Washing the Air Filter Element
Wash the air filter element as follows:
1. Fill a washing pan of a proper size with nonflammable cleaning
solvent. Immerse the filter element in the solvent and wash it
clean.
2. Squeeze the solvent of the washed filter element by pressing it
between the palms of both hands. Do not twist and wring the
filter element or it will develop fissures.
3. Immerse the filter element in a pool of engine oil, and squeeze
the oil off the filter element to make it slightly wet with the oil.
4. Reinstall the cleaned air filter element in reverse order of
removal. Be absolutely sure that the filter element is securely in
position and is sealing properly.
Caution

Before and during the cleaning operation, carefully examine the air
filter element for any tears in the material. A torn filter element must be
replaced with a new one.

If driving under dusty conditions, the filter element must be cleaned
more frequently.

NEVER OPREATE THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE FILTER
ELEMENT. Operating the engine without the filter element will
increase engine wear. Always be sure that the filter element is in
excellent operational condition at all times. The life of the engine
depends largely on this single component.
