2. Remove the wing nut securing the elements to the
air cleaner body.
3. If the foam element is dirty, remove it from the paper
element (Figure 33). Clean it thoroughly, as follows:
A. Wash the foam element in a solution of liquid
soap and warm water. Squeeze it to remove dirt,
but do not twist it because the foam may tear.
B. Dry it by wrapping it in a clean rag. Squeeze the
rag and foam element dry.
