Sediment Cup Cleaning - Honda GX240 Technical Manual

Tap the inner filter (1) lightly several times on a hard surface to remove
excess dirt, or blow compressed air lightly (207 kPa (2.11 kgf/cm
less) through the paper filter from the inside out. Never try to brush the dirt
off; brushing will force dirt into the fibers.

using a rag.
Check the air cleaner case packing for deterioration or damage. Make sure
the air cleaner packing is installed securely.
Install the cleaner in the reverse order of removal.
