Renew Air Cleaner Element

Your air cleaner filters air entering the engine induction system and acts as a silencer and a flame
arrester. Air that contains dirt and grit produces an abrasive fuel mixture, and can cause severe
damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings. Damage to the cylinder walls and piston rings will
cause high oil consumption and short engine life. A restricted or dirty air cleaner will also cause a
rich fuel mixture. Thus, it is extremely important that the air cleaner be serviced at recommended
intervals.
CAUTION: Service the air cleaner more frequently under severe dust conditions to prevent
engine damage.
1. Release the air cleaner lid retaining hardware.
2. Lift the air cleaner lid clear of the air cleaner body, then remove the air cleaner element and
discard it.
3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner body and lid clean, using a lint-free rag.
4. Insert the new element, ensuring that it fits properly and install air cleaner lid.
