• Cleaning the air filter should be carry out periodically according to the procedure below.
• Do not clean the filter element with gasoline or other solvent cleaners.
• Remove the air filter from engine.
• Put the air filter on a flat surface and shake dust out.
• Liberally spray K&N Air filter Cleaner onto both sides the of filter and allow to soak for 10 minutes
to loosen the dirt.
• Wash out the dust with running water of low pressure from the inside toward the outside.
• Dry the wet air filter in the shade for 2~3 hour. You can reduce drying time by blowing with a hair
dryer on COLD or by blowing with low pressure compressed air.
• (CAUTION) Do not use high pressure air, high pressure water or hot air to clean and/or dry the air
filter. These can damage the performance of the air filter.
• Apply air cleaner oil over the outside of the filter. If too much oil is applied, it will reduce
performance.
