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.
6. Replace the air filter housing cover and secure the clamps.
Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe
engine damage. The customer warranty may be voided for any damage to
the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.
