Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter is located underneath a
diagonal brace in the engine compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle. See “Engine Compartment
Overview” in the Index for more information
on location.
To check or replace the engine air cleaner/filter,
do the following:
1. Loosen the wing nut on the air duct.
2. Lift up on the two clips
located on the top of
the filter assembly.
3. Then disconnect the duct and reposition it while
removing the side cover.
4. Pull out the filter.
5. Replace the filter if needed.
6. Be sure to reinstall the filter and install the cover
tightly when you are finished.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
replace the air filter.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
CAUTION:
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 stops flame if
the engine backfires. If it isn’t there, and the
engine backfires, you could be burned.
Don’t drive with it off, and be careful working
on the engine with the air cleaner/filter off.
