This may cause tears in the element and allow particles
to enter the combustion chamber leading to accelerated
engine wear.

clean the inside of the air cleaner body.
6. Remove the shop towel from the intake tube. Then
place a new air cleaner element into the filter hous-
ing. Push the element into the housing until it is fully
