WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.
7. Coat the foam evenly with high quality foam air-
filter oil. Squeeze the element a few times to
ensure complete coverage inside and out.
8. Recombine the foam and screen. When recom-
bining, make sure the foam completely covers
the screen so that the mating surface of the air-
box meets the foam and no part of the screen
element.
9. Carefully wipe the interior of airbox with a lint-
free, clean, shop towel. Avoid the tip of the air
temperature sensor. Also, be sure to note the
small brass air pressure port fitting. A hose is
attached to this fitting on the other side of the air-
box. The hose and this fitting should be unob-
structed so that the ECU senses the correct air
pressure within the airbox. Faulty readings will
affect engine operation.
10. Apply a generous layer of high quality water-
proof grease to the flange of the air filter and
position the filter onto the airbox.
11. Install the air filter retaining clip.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Gasoline or other low flash point solvents are
extremely flammable under certain conditions.
A fire or explosion can cause severe injury or
death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Use a non-flammable (high-flash point) solvent
to clean the air filter elements.
1. Air funnel
2. Air temperature sensor tip
3. Air pressure hose fitting
