Installing the Filters
Important:
To prevent engine damage, always
operate the engine with the air filter and the cover
installed.
1. If you are installing a new filter, check the filter
for shipping damage.
Note:
Do not use a damaged filter.
2. Carefully slide the filter into the air-cleaner body
(Figure 73).
Note:
Ensure that the filter is fully seated by
pushing on the outer rim while installing it.
Important:
Do not press on the soft, inside
area of the filter.
3. Install the air-cleaner cover and secure the
latches (Figure 73).

engine, clean the area around the oil-fill cap and
