AIR FILTER
General Information
The air filter should be checked every year or 100 hours. More frequent service may be required in extremely
dirty operating environments. Need for immediate servicing will be indicated by a loss of power, sluggish
acceleration, or an engine which runs roughly with excessive black exhaust smoke.
Air Filter Replacement
1. Access the engine compartment.
2. Pull the yellow tab (1) on the air filter cover (2) away from the air filter housing (Figure 14-7, Page 14-12) .
3. Rotate the cover counterclockwise to approximately the 10 o’clock position to release the internal locking
tabs. Remove the cover.
