Air
Cleaner
To
remove
the
air cleaner, remove
the
wing nuts that hold
the cover on. Remove the cover and
lift
out the air filter.
Insert a
new
air filter, then replace the air cleaner cover.
Tighten the wing nuts
to
hold the cover
in
place.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
replace the air filter.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services”
in
the Index.
Operating the engine with the air cleaner 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
off.
I
NOTICE:
If the air cleaner is off,
a
backfire can cause
a
damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily get
into your engine, which will damage it. Always
have the air cleaner
in
place when you’re driving.
