Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused.
Paper air filter element: Tap the filter element several times on a
hard surface to remove dirt, or blow compressed air [not
exceeding 207 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm , 30 psi)] through the filter
element from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will
force dirt into the fibers.
Foam air 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, then
squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if
too much oil is left in the foam.

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.
