• Carefully use air hose to blow the dust from the cleaner ele-
ment.
"
Always use air pressure on the center air cleaner side
of the air cleaner element. If air pressure is used on
the other side, dirt will be forced into the pores of the
air cleaner element thus restricting air flow through
the air cleaner element.
NOTE:
If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air cleaner element
more frequently. Make sure that the air cleaner is in good condi-
tion at all times. The life of the engine depends largely on this
component.
• Install the cleaned or new air cleaner element in the reverse
order of removal.
NOTE:
When cleaning the air cleaner element, drain water from the air
cleaner by removing the drain plug.
