OLD ELEMENT

AS GENTLY

AS POSSIBLE

Loosen wing nut and remove old element. Baby that dirty

element until you get it clear out of the housing.

Accidentally bumping it while still inside means dropped

dirt and dust that may contaminate the clean side of your

filter housing, before the new filter element has a chance

to do its job.

CAREFULLY

Dirt left in the air cleaner housing spells death for your

engine. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe every surface

PATTERNS ON

YOUR ELEMENT

Your old element is a valuable clue to dust leakage or

gasket sealing problems. A pattern on the element clean

side is a sign that the old element was not firmly sealed

or that a dust leak exists. Make certain the cause of that

leak is identified and rectified before replacing the

element.

If you don't feel the gasket is seating evenly for a perfect

seal, you don't have protection. Recheck to see if the

sealing surface in the housing is clean, or if the element is

the correct model number. It may be too short for the

housing.
