5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused.
Paper filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not
exceeding 207 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force
dirt into the fibers.
Foam filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and
allow to dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and
allow to dry. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, then
squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when started
if too much oil is left in the foam.

Do not twist.
6. CYCLONE TYPE ONLY: Remove the three pan-head screws
from the precleaner cap, then remove the cyclone housing and
air guide. Wash the parts with water, dry them thoroughly, and
reassemble them.
Be sure to install the air guide as shown in the illustration.
Install the cyclone housing so the air intake tab fits into the
groove in the precleaner cap.
7. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner case and cover using
a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from entering the air duct
that leads to the carburetor.
8. Place the foam filter element over the paper element, and
reinstall the assembled air filter. Be sure the gasket is in place
beneath the air filter. Tighten the air filter wing nut securely.
9. Install the air cleaner cover, and tighten the wing nut securely.
