CAUTION
The air filter element must be intact or the engine will suck in dust and dirt, resulting in a
shorter service life of the engine.
Water should be prevented from entering into the filter when washing the vehicle.
The filter element shall be cleaned gently without twisting to prevent it from cracking.
Never wash it with gasoline or any acid, alkaline or organic volatile oil to avoid its aging,
which will result in reducing the effect of the air filter oil to catch particles before they
enter the engine. Replace the filter element with a new one if it is broken or cracked.
