WARNING
Gasoline and low flash-point solvents can
be flammable and/or explosive and cause
severe burns.
Clean the element in a
well-ventilated area, and take care that
there is no spark or flame anywhere near the
working areas. Do not use gasoline or low
flash-point solvents to clean the element.
•
After cleaning, let the filter dry completely. Satu-
rate the element with a high-quality foam air fil-
ter oil and make sure that the oil is evenly ap-
plied throughout the element. Squeeze out the ex-
cess oil, but do not wring the element as this could
cause tearing. In this case, too much oil is better
than too little. Finally pat the inside of the element
with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
•
Before installation, check the element for damage
such as tears, hardening, or shrinkage. If dam-
aged, replace the element.
•
Apply grease to all mating surfaces and to the
screw hole in the air cleaner housing and intake
tract.
•
Remove the towel from the carburetor.
•
Install the element onto its frame, and coat the
element lip and lip seat with a thick layer of all
-purpose grease to assure a complete seal.
