• Carefully use air hose to blow the dust from the cleaner ele-
ment.
Always use air pressure on the throttle body 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.
• Install the O-ring 5 properly.
• Reinstall the cleaned or new air cleaner element in the
reverse order of removal.
If driving under dusty condition, clean the air cleaner
element more frequently. The surest way to accelerate
engine wear is to use the engine without the element
or to use a ruptured element. Make sure that the air
cleaner is in good condition at all times. Life of the
engine depends largely on this component!
NOTE:
When cleaning the air cleaner element, drain water from the air
cleaner by removing the drain plug.
