4. Release the latches on the air cleaner and pull
the air cleaner cover off of the air cleaner body
(Figure 40).
5. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with
compressed air.
6. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air
cleaner body (Figure 40). Avoid knocking the
filter into the side of the body.
7. Remove the safety filter only if you intend to
replace it.
Important: Never attempt to clean the
safety filter. If the safety filter is dirty,
then the primary filter is damaged and you
should replace both filters.
8. Inspect the primary filter for damage by
looking into the filter while shining a bright
light on the outside of the filter. Holes in the
filter will appear as bright spots. If the filter
is damaged discard it.

shipping damage. Do not use a damaged filter.
