3. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull the air
cleaner cover off of the air cleaner body (Fig. 58).
4. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with
compressed air.
5. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air cleaner
body (Fig. 58). Avoid knocking the filter into the side
of the body. Do not remove the safety filter, unless you
intend to replace it as well.
6. Inspect the primary filter for damage by looking into
the filter while shining a bright light on the outside of
the filter. Holes in the filter will appear as bright spots.
If the filter is damaged, discard it, otherwise clean it.
Important Never attempt to clean the safety filter. If
the safety filter is dirty, then the primary filter is damaged
and you should replace both filters.
