1. Unlatch and remove dust cup/cover (A) of air cleaner.
2. Move end of filter (B) back and forth gently to break
seal.

4. Thoroughly clean all dirt from inside housing and from
outlet bore.
IMPORTANT: Remove secondary (safety) element (C)

to clean, wash, or reuse secondary
element. Replacement of secondary
element is usually necessary ONLY
when primary element has a hole in it.

hand at outer rim of filter.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT use latches on cover to force
filter into air cleaner. Using cover to
force filter will damage cleaner housing.
