CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
ELEMENT
Proper air filter maintenance is the
biggest key to preventing premature
engine wear and damage.
Never run the engine without the
air filter element in place; this
would allow dirt and dust to enter
the engine and cause rapid wear
and possible engine damage.
1. Open the air filter case cover "1"
Loosen the quick screw "2" and pull
on it to open the air filter case cover.
2. Unhook:
• Binder "1"
3. Remove:
• Air filter element "1"
• Air filter guide "2"
