3. Clean dust and debris from the air filter housing;
then remove the cotton-fabric safety element using
care not to allow dirt and debris to enter the engine.
DE008
4. Lightly tap the dry-paper air filter to dislodge the dirt
and dust. Do not use compressed air.
5. Insert a suitable light into the dry-paper air filter and
look for any “pin-points” of light shining out of the
filter medium. A bright “pin-point” of light indicates
a hole and the filter element must be replaced.
CAUTION
Failure to inspect the air filter frequently if the vehicle is
used in dusty, wet, or muddy conditions can damage
the engine.
