cleaner bracket and torque to 70 in. lb. (4.9 N-m).
d) Remove plastic plugs from air intake elbow on engine and air cleaner hose.
Adjust the air cleaner and hose as required and connect intake hose to air
cleaner outlet. Position and tighten the two hose clamps to secure the hose
connections.
e) Secure air cleaner by tightening the tensioning bolt and spring assembly until
ends of clamp are approximately ½" (12.7 mm) apart.

filter minder and the oil filler cap to remove and replace the oil filler cap easily.

NOTE: The filter minder must clear the lift lug. If necessary, bend the lift lug
towards the back of the machine to gain clearance for the filter minder.
