4. Wipe the air filter housing and cover clean to remove any dirt or

debris and to ensure good sealing.

5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter

element edges between the air filter housing and cover. This could cause

filter damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly

seated.

6. Replace the air filter housing

cover and secure the clamps. Be

sure that the air cleaner cover tabs

are engaged into the slots of the air

cleaner housing.

Note: Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe

engine damage. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to

the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.
