Foam element:
Clean in warm soapy water, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly. Or clean

engine oil and squeeze out all the excess. The engine will smoke during
initial start-up if too much oil is left in the foam.
Clean
Paper element:
Tap the element lightly several times on a hard surface to remove
excess dirt, or blow compressed air through the filter from the inside
out. Never try to brush the dirt off; brushing will force dirt into the
fibers. Replace the paper element if it is excessively dirty.
