AIR FILTER CHECK
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and or
personal burn injuries, do not start your engine with the air
cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.
Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe
engine damage. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to
the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.
When changing the air filter element, use only the air filter element
listed. See
Motorcraft® Part Numbers
in the
Capacities and
Specifications
chapter.
See
Scheduled Maintenance Information
for the appropriate intervals
for changing the air filter element.
Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe
engine damage. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to
the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.
Changing the air filter element
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.
