4.
Place a clean shop towel over the airbox
opening.
5.
Separate the foam element from the screen.
6.
Clean both with non-flammable (high-flash
point) and rinse both with warm water. Squeeze
the foam to remove water. Allow both to air dry
completely. Inspect both for damage (e.g.
cracking, tears, holes, etc.)
7.
Coat the foam evenly with high quality foam air-
filter oil. Squeeze the element a few times to
ensure complete coverage inside and out.
8.
Recombine the foam and screen. When
recombining, make sure the foam completely
covers the screen so that the mating surface of
the airbox meets the foam and no part of the
screen element.
9.
Carefully wipe the interior of airbox with a lint
free clean shop towel. Avoid the tip of the air
temperature sensor. Also, be sure to note the
small brass air pressure port fitting. A hose is
attached to this fitting on the other side of the
airbox. The hose and this fitting should be
unobstructed so that the ECU senses the
correct air pressure within the airbox. Faulty
readings will affect engine operation.
10. Apply a generous layer of high quality water-
proof grease to the flange of the air filter and
position the filter onto the airbox.
11. Install the air filter retaining clip.
