Air Cleaner Element Cleaning
Carefully use an air hose to blow
the dust from the air cleaner ele-
ment.
NOTE: Always apply air pressure
to the mesh side of the air cleaner
element only. If you apply air pres-
sure to the fabric side, dirt will be
forced into the pores of the ele-
ment, restricting the air flow
through the element.
Installation
Reinstall the air cleaner element
in the reverse order of the
removal.
CAUTION
A torn air cleaner element will
allow dirt to enter the engine
and can damage the engine.
Carefully examine the air
cleaner element for tears dur-
ing cleaning. Replace it with a
new one if it is torn.
CAUTION
Failure to position the air
cleaner element properly can
allow dirt to bypass the air
cleaner element. This will
cause engine damage.
Be sure to properly install the
air cleaner element.
