AIR CLEANER INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

The air cleaner unit on the vehicle is a dry unit. Do not use oil on the filter element or any part of the unit. To aide instal-
lation and sealing, petroleum jelly may be applied to back side of cover tabs and each side of filter seal.

Cleaning the Air Filter Element

Do not use compressed air to clean the air filter; doing so will damage the filter which may result in damage to the
engine.
The air cleaner element is accessible by unsnapping the clips on the air canister and removing the cover and air filter
element. Clean inside of cover, canister and dust collector. Install the element and cover the same way they were
removed. Be sure the positioning arrow on cover is pointing upward and all clips are fastened securely.
If the element is in acceptable condition, loose dirt may be removed by tapping the filter lightly. Do not use oil on the fil-
ter element or any part of the unit.
