this will cause rapid wear of internal components, causing permanent internal damage
and shortening the life of this compressor.
Separate the air filter (15) from the cylinder head (4), turning it counterclockwise.
Remove the wing nut from the top of the air cleaner assembly and remove the air
cleaner element from inside the assembly.
