3. Inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter.
4. Align the filter correctly using the
alignment tab.
5. Install the cover by guiding the
tabs on the rim of the top cover
into the bottom hinges and turn
the cover down to close it.

WARNING
Operating the engine with the air
cleaner/filter off can cause you or
others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air; it
helps to stop flames if the engine
backfires. Use caution when
working on the engine and do not
drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
If the air cleaner/filter is
off, dirt can easily get into the
engine, which could damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter
in place when you are driving.
