the rubber seal.
3. Replace the paper element if it is damaged.
Servicing the Secondary Filter
Do not clean the secondary filter, replace it.
Important: Never attempt to clean the secondary filter.
If the secondary filter is dirty, then the primary filter is
damaged and you should replace both filters.
Installing the Filters
Important: To prevent engine damage, always operate
the engine with both air filters and cover installed.
1. If installing new filters, check each filter for shipping
damage. Do not use a damaged filter.
2. If the secondary filter is being replaced, carefully slide
it into the filter body (Figure 44).
3. Carefully slide the primary filter over the secondary
filter (Figure 44). Ensure that it is fully seated by
pushing on the outer rim of the filter while installing it.
Important: Do not press on the soft inside area
of the filter.
4. Install the air cleaner cover with the breather cap down
and rotate so the retaining clamps lock the cover in
place (Figure 44).
