The air filter on this is a big cylinder in a can on the right front
behind the headlight.
I have not looked in a while but I think it pulls in air from under it
so I don't think I can get water into it - or get a bag on it for that
matter. One could pull the lid and wrap so that there was no means of
blowing any water up the intake hose. Also could pull the filter so it
could not get wet. Should have a look at the filter in any event.
Thanks Grant

Air cleaner, certainly.. I open a heavy trash bag and "put the air cleaner
in the bag" before washing the engine.
Also, a product I've come to really like is Gunk Foamy Engine Brite. I
find it is way better than anything else at emulsifying the oil residue,
road dirt, and caked on "stuff" that collects. I spray down the engine
with water first to knock off anything lose, then spray with the Foamy
Engine Brite and let it set for a bit. Then hit it with the pressure
washer. You can respray areas that first pass didn't get then pressure wash
again.
On painted surfaces, to date I've seen no degrade of the paint finish,
however, to be safe, I use the "wait time" conservatively before flushing
it off.
Hope you get as good a result as I have. BTW... it works on oil drips in
your driveway also.. recommend using a brush to massage the area after
spraying it down, then pressure wash or hose it off.

Anything I need to be careful with or concerned about?
Or can I just spray the cleaner stuff about and then use the pressure
washer to rinse it good?
A bit dirty under there and I need to do some work so it would be cleaner
for me if I clean the engine compartment first.
