Cleaning the Foam and Paper Elements

Foam Element

1. Wash the foam element in liquid soap and warm

water and rinse it thoroughly.

2. Dry the element by squeezing it in a clean cloth.

Note: Do not oil the foam element.

Important: Replace the foam element if it is torn

or worn.

Paper Element

1. Lightly tap the paper element on a flat surface to

remove dust and dirt.

2. Inspect the element for tears, an oily film, and

damage to the rubber seal.

Important: Never clean the paper element with

pressurized air or liquids, such as solvents, gasoline,

or kerosene. Replace the paper element if it is

damaged or cannot be cleaned thoroughly.

Installing the Foam and Paper Elements

Important: To prevent engine damage, always

operate the engine with the complete foam and

paper air cleaner assembly installed.

1. Place the foam element and paper element into the

blower housing.

Note: Ensure that the rubber seal is flat against the

air cleaner base.

2. Align the tabs on the air cleaner cover with the slots

of the blower housing (Figure 21). Hook the handle

onto the cover and press down on the handle to lock

the cover in place.
