important that no foreign material enter the air induction system. The engine

1. Release the clamps that secure the air filter housing cover.
2. Carefully separate the two halves of the air filter housing.
3. Remove the air filter element from the air filter housing.
4. Wipe the air filter housing and cover clean to remove any dirt or
debris and to ensure good sealing.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing and cover. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly seated.
6. Replace the air filter housing cover and secure
the clamps. Be sure that the air cleaner cover tabs
are engaged into the slots of the air cleaner housing.
