Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter
is located underneath a
diagonal brace on the
driver’s side of the engine.
See “Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index
for more information
on location.
To check or replace the engine air cleaner/filter:
1. Loosen the wing nut on the air duct and lift up on the
two clips located on the top of the filter assembly.
2. Then disconnect the duct and reposition it while
removing the side cover.
3. Pull out the filter.
4. Replace the filter if needed.
5. Be sure to install the engine air cleaner/filter and
install the cover tightly when you are finished.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
replace the air filter.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
CAUTION:
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air, it stops flame if
the engine backfires. If it isn’t there, and the
engine backfires, you could be burned. Don’t
drive with it off, and be careful working on the
engine with the air cleaner/filter off.
NOTICE:
If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire can cause
a damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily
get into your engine, which will damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter in place when
you’re driving.
