dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the

cleaner/filter:
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.

filter housing.
4. Inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter. Make sure that the
filter fits properly into the
housing.

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. Use caution when
working on the engine and do not
drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
The cooling system allows the
