use gasoline as a cleaning
solvent, because that would create a risk
of fire or explosion.
Engine Air Cleaner
1. Remove the air cleaner cover and foam filter element as
shown in Figure 34.

a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air

mable solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Dip the element
