If the filter is damaged or is wet with oil or
fuel, replace it.

If the filter is dirty, tap it on a hard surface
several times or blow the debris outward from
the interior of the filter using compressed air
at less than 207 kPa (30 psi).
Note:
Do not brush or blow dirt from the
outside of the filter; either forces dirt into the
fibers.
