The dirty air cleaner element can be cleaned by one of three methods: (1) washing in a solution of water and detergent, (2) blowing with compressed air, or (3) washing with water alone. Detergent and water are best when the element is loaded with a combination of exhaust carbon, soot, oil and dust. Compressed air is effective when the element is loaded with dust. Washing with water alone will often work when air is not available and the element has only dust on it. Whichever method of cleaning is used, the element should be handled carefully to keep it from being punctured or dented. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE ELEMENT BY BEATING OR RAPPING IT. The main element, protected by steel lines, is strong enough to take normal handling, but it will not stand an unlimited amount of abuse.
