2. Remove the cover from the air cleaner body.
Before removing the filter, use low pressure
air (40 psi, clean and dry) to help remove
large accumulations of debris packed between
outside of primary filter and the canister.
Avoid using high pressure air which could
force dirt through the filter into the intake
tract.
This cleaning process prevents debris from
migrating into the intake when the primary
filter is removed.
3. Remove and replace the primary filter
(Figure 40).
Cleaning of the used element is not
recommended due to the possibility of damage
to the filter media. Inspect the new filter
for shipping damage, checking the sealing
end of the filter and the body. Do not use
a damaged element. Insert the new filter
by applying pressure to the outer rim of the
element to seat it in the canister. Do not apply
pressure to the flexible center of the filter.

valve in a downward position—between
approximately 5:00 to 7:00 when viewed from
the end.
6. Reset the indicator (Figure 38) if it shows red.
