3. Separate the foam and paper air filter elements. Check both filter
elements, and replace them if they are damaged. Always replace
the paper air filter element every year or 300 hours. Clean the air
filter elements if they are to be reused.
Paper air filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not ex
ceeding
30 psi (270 kPa, 2.1 kg/cm
2
)] through the filter element from the
inside out. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into
the fibers.
Foam air filter element: Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse
thoroughly, or wash in non-flammable
solvent. Allow the filter
element to dry thoroughly. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil,
and then squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when
started if too much oil is left in the filter element.
4. Wipe dirt from the air cleaner base and cover (and silencer if
applicable), using a moist rag.
5. Place the foam air filter elem
ent over the paper air filter element,
and install the assembled air filter. Be sure the gask
