1. Unsnap the air cleaner cover and remove the elements.
2. Clean the elements:
FOAM PRE-CLEANER ELEMENT: Wash the foam pre-

cleaner element in warm water with detergent. Rinse the

foam pre-cleaner element thoroughly until all traces of

detergent are eliminated. Squeeze out excess water, but do

not wring. Allow the foam pre-cleaner element to air dry.

Saturate the foam pre-cleaner element with new engine oil.

Squeeze out all excess oil. DO NOT put engine oil on the

foam damper.
NOTE: Clean the foam pre-cleaner element every 25 hours

of operation (more often under extremely dusty or

dirty condition)

PAPER AIR CLEANER ELEMENT: Do not wash the paper

element or use pressurized air, as this will damage the

element. Clean by gently tapping the element to remove

dust. Replace the element if damaged, bent or extremely

dirty. Handle new element carefully; do not use if the sealing

surfaces are bent or damaged.
NOTE: Replace the paper element every 100 hours (more

often under extremely dusty conditions.)
