Paper filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not

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.

from the precleaner cap, then remove the cyclone housing and
air guide. Wash the parts with water, dry them thoroughly, and
reassemble them.
Be sure to install the air guide as shown in the illustration.
Install the cyclone housing so the air intake tab fits into the
groove in the precleaner cap.
