3. Away from the vehicle's
engine compartment, lightly
shake the filter to release loose
dust and dirt.
Do not use compressed air to
clean the filter.
Replace the filter if it remains
caked with dirt.
4. Clean the air filter sealing
surface and the filter housing.
5. Reverse the steps for
installation of the new filter.
CAUTION
Operating the engine with the
air 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. If it is not
there and the engine backfires,
you could be burned. Do not
drive with it off, and be careful
working on the engine with the
air cleaner/filter off.
