Servicing the Air Cleaner
• Check the whole intake system for leaks, damage, or loose hose clamps. Do not use a
damaged air filter.
• Service the air-cleaner filter only when the service indicator requires it. Changing the air
filter before it is necessary only increases the chance of dirt entering the engine when
you remove the filter.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the cover is seated correctly, seals with the air-cleaner body, and the
rubber outlet valve is in a downward position—between the 5 o’clock and 7 o’clock
positions when viewed from the end.
