Air filter cleaning

Wash the filter with a specific detergent (CASTROL FOAM AIR FILTER CLEAN-
ER or similar) then dry it fully (wash filter with gasoline only in case of need).
Plunge the filter in special oil for filters (CASTROL FOAM AIR FILTER OIL or
similar), then wring it to drain superfluous oil.
Do not use fuel or a low flash-point solvent to clean the filtering element.
A fire or explosion could result.
Clean the filtering element in a well ventilated area and do not allow
sparks or flames anywhere near the working area.
