Oil-Bath & Single-Filter-Element Types
1. Remove the wing nut, and remove the air cleaner cap and cover.

warm, soapy water, rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly. Or clean in
nonflammable solvent and allow to dry.

The engine will smoke if too much oil is left in the foam.

wash out any accumulated dirt with nonflammable solvent, and dry
the case.
