(5) Clean both filter elements thoroughly in dry‐cleaning solvent. Allow elements to dry out (use air hose if available).
(6) Clean oil cup and refill to indicated level mark. Use clean engine oil (seasonal grade).
(7) Dip one screen surface of each filter element about ½ inch into oil in the oil cup (to “oil wet” filter pack). Install the two filter elements, baffle plate, and oil cup immediately after “oil wetting” the filter elements. Make sure gaskets are in place. NOTE: Do not add more oil to oil cup after elements have been dipped into it, because excess oil absorbed by elements will drip back into oil cup, bringing level back to normal.
(8) Round‐type oil bath air cleaner used on earlier models does not have removable filter element. Complete cleaner body must be removed from vehicle, immersed and agitated in cleaning solvent to wash out dirt. After cleaning, allow filter element to dry (use air hose if available), then apply a few squirts of engine oil to inside of cleaner element, using oilcan. Refill cup, replace baffle plate and cup, securely tightening clamp band thumb screw.
