Paper element: Tap the element several times on a hard surface to remove
excess dirt, or blow compressed air [not exceeding 207 kPa (30 psi)]
through the filter from the inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will
force dirt into the fibers.
Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner housing and cover, using a moist
rag. Be careful to avoid dropping dirt into the air cleaner duct that leads to
the carburetor.
