Servicing the Safety Filter
The air filter has a secondary, safety filter element inside the
primary air filter to prevent dislodged dust and other items
from entering the engine while changing the main element.
Replace the safety filter, never clean it.
Important:
Never attempt to clean the safety filter.
If the safety filter is dirty, then the primary filter is
damaged. Replace both filters.
