To inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter, do the
following:

1. Unhook the retainer clips and remove the cover.

2. Lift the filter out of the engine air cleaner/filter

housing. Care should be taken to dislodge as
little dirt as possible.

3. Clean the engine air cleaner/filter housing.

4. Inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter.

Make sure that the filter fits properly into the
housing.

5. Reinstall the cover and fasten the retaining clips.

CAUTION:

Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter
off can cause you or others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air; it helps to stop
flames if the engine backfires. If it is not there and
the engine backfires, you could be burned. Do not
drive with it off, and be careful working on the
engine with the air cleaner/filter off.

Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire
can cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt
can easily get into the engine, which will damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter in place when
you are driving.
