To inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter, do the
following:
1. Unscrew the clamp on
the air duct hose.
2. Disconnect the hose.
3. Unscrew the four bolts on the side of the air cleaner
assembly.
4. Turn the cover upward to disengage the cover
hinges.
5. Remove the air cleaner cover assembly and air
filter element.
6. Inspect or replace the air filter element.
If the air filter element is dirty, you should replace it.
If it is only dusty, it may be cleaned by blowing
compressed air through it from the clean side.
Make sure you are away from the engine
compartment when cleaning the air filter with
compressed air.
Wipe all dust from inside of the housing and inspect
the air cleaner and air outlet duct for cracks, cuts
and deterioration. The air outlet duct must be
replaced if damaged.
7. Reverse Steps 1 through 5 to reinstall the engine
air cleaner/filter cover and air duct hose.
{CAUTION: SIO-ID=817205 LMD=08-dec-2004
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 helps to
stop flames if the engine backfires. If it is not
there and the engine backfires, you could be
burned. Do not drive with it off, and be careful
working on the engine with the air cleaner/filter
off.
Notice:
SIO-ID=817207 LMD=24-mar-2003 If the air
cleaner/filter 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/filter in place when you are driving.
