2. Remove the wing nut securing the elements to the
air-cleaner body.
3. If the foam element is dirty, remove it from the paper
element (Figure 43). Clean it thoroughly, as follows:
A. Wash the foam element in a solution of liquid
soap and warm water. Squeeze it to remove dirt,
but do not twist it because the foam may tear.
B. Dry it by wrapping it in a clean rag. Squeeze the
rag and foam element dry.

flat surface or replace it if needed.
