Step 1:
Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety starting switch is
disconnected. Be certain that the throttle/shift control lever is in
neutral. The engine must be cool.
Step 2:
Carefully remove the fl ame arrestor from the back of the engine
using a screwdriver on the clamp screw.
Step 3:
Tap the element to dislodge any large embedded dirt and then
gently brush with a soft bristle brush.
Note: Do not use gasoline, steam, caustic cleaning
solution, strong detergent, high-pressure car wash or parts
cleaning solvents. Any of these can harm the cotton fi lter me-
dia, as well as shrink and harden the rubber end caps.
Step 4:
Either spray on K&N air fi lter cleaner or allow the air fi lter to soak
in a pan fi lled with air fi lter cleaner. Allow the cleaner to work for
approximately 10 minutes.
Step 5:
Rinse off the fi lter with low-pressure water. Tap water is okay. Al-
ways fl ush from the clean side to the dirty side. This removes the
dirt and does not drive it into the fi lter.
Step 6:
Always dry naturally. After rinsing, shake off all excess water and
let the element dry naturally.
Note: Do not use compressed air, open fl ame nor heat
dryers. Excess heat will shrink the cotton fi lter media. Com-
pressed air will blow holes in the element.
Step 7:
After cleaning the air fi lter, always re-oil before using. Spray K&N
air fi lter oil down into each pleat with one pass per pleat. Wait
10 minutes and re-oil any white spots still showing. Or use the oil
from a squeeze bottle, down into the bottom and along each pleat
with just one pass in each pleat. Let the oil work into the cotton for
20 minutes. Re-oil any white spots still showing.
Note: Never use the K&N air fi lter without oil. The fi l-
ter will not stop the dirt without the oil. Red dye is added to
K&N air fi lter oil to assist in determining whether you have
complete coverage after application. Never use automatic
transmission fl uid, motor oil, diesel fuel, WD-40, LPS or other
lightweight oils for this purpose.
Step 8:
Re-install. Make sure the element seats properly before tightening
the clamp screw.
