move the air filter.

tube and there will be some initial
resistance.

ter back and forth to break the

1. Inspect the filter for any signs of
leaks. A streak of dust on the clean
side of the filter is a telltale sign.
Replace filter if there is any dam-
ages. Eliminate any source of air
leaks before installing a new filter.
2. Clean engine air filter by tapping
out heavy dust from paper ele-
ment, this will allow dirt and dust to
get out of the paper filter.
