Carefully use air hose to blow the dust from the cleaner ele-
ment.
Always use air pressure on the throttle body side of

other side, dirt will be forced into the pores of the air

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 o n this component!
