5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused.
Paper filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not
exceeding 207 kPa] through the filter element from the inside.
Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibers.
Foam filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and
allow to dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and
allow to dry. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, and then
squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when started
if too much oil is left in the foam.

a hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not
