nants from the filter. If the filter is excessively covered
in dust particles and contaminants, it must be
replaced.

replace the air box lid by pushing the duckbill first
and rotating the lid until it is completely around the
filter. Work the lid on with the duckbill positioned 15
degrees off vertical (see illustration OHA031). Twist
the lid 15 degrees clockwise until able to push the
yellow latch in and lock the lid in place. When
installed the lid should have the duckbill facing
downward and vertical to the vehicle.

CAUTION
Do not use compressed air to clean the paper element.
This may cause tears in the element and allow particles
to enter the combustion chamber, leading to acceler-
ated engine wear.
CAUTION
A torn air filter can cause damage to the engine. Dirt
and dust may get inside the engine if the element is
torn. Carefully examine the element for tears before
and after cleaning it. Replace a torn element with a new
one.
