Servicing the Air Cleaner (continued)
Installing the Filter
G424757
1. Check the safety-filter element . If it is dirty,
replace it.
IMPORTANT
Never attempt to clean the safety filter. Replace the safety filter with a new one after
every 3 primary filter services.
2. Inspect the new filter for shipping damage, checking the sealing end of the filter element
and the body of the air filter.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a damaged filter element.
3. Assemble the primary-filter element
. Apply pressure to the outer rim of the element to
seat it in the air-filter housing.
IMPORTANT
Do not apply pressure to the flexible center of the filter.
4. Remove the dust-ejector valve from the air-cleaner cover, clean the cavity, and install
the ejector valve to the cover.
5. Assemble the cover onto the air-cleaner housing, aligning the dust-ejector valve in a
downward position—between approximately 5 o’clock to 7 o’clock when viewed from the
end.
