1) Fill a washing pan of a proper size with
nonflammable cleaning solvent (A). 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
(B), 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 replace d with a new
one.
If driving under dusty conditions, the
filter element must be cleaned more
frequently.
●

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.
