discarded in accordance with local environmental
regulations.
Release the clamp and remove the air cleaner element.

NOTE: It is possible that a filter which is damaged or
clogged with soot due to an exhaust leak will not be able
to be cleaned to maximum efficiency. Replace the
element if necessary.
Tap the filter element to dislodge any large embedded
particles or dirt.
Gently brush the filter element with a soft bristle brush.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the components, do not use
gasoline, high-pressure water or air, caustic cleaning

filter.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the components, do not use
compressed air, an open flame or heat dryers to dry
the air filter.

This will remove the particles and dirt, and not drive it into
the air filter.
Rinse the air filter element with low pressure water. Tap
water is okay.
After rinsing the air filter, shake off all the excess water
and let the filter element air dry.
