4. Pull the primary (5) and secondary (6) air filter
elements free of the housing (2). Using damp lint-free
cloths, clean the inside of the filter housing.
5. Inspect the air cleaner intake hose (7) and turbo
intake hose (8) for wear, damage, and cracks.
Replace all damaged hoses. Be sure hose clamps
(9) secure the hoses without leaks.
6. Inspect the new filter elements. Do not use a
damaged element.

elements, making sure they are properly seated in
the housing.

• Do not open the air cleaner assembly for
inspection or cleaning. Unnecessary removal
of the filter increases the risk of injecting dust
and other impurities into the engine.
• Removal and service of the filter element is
required when the air service indicator light
comes on during normal operation.
• Do not remove air filter with engine running.
