Servicing the Primary Filter
1. Do not clean the paper filter, replace it (Figure 45).
2. Inspect the element for tears, an oily film, or damage
to the rubber seal.
3. Replace the paper element if it is damaged.
Servicing the Secondary Filter
Do not clean the secondary filter, replace it.
Important: Never attempt to clean the secondary
filter. If the secondary filter is dirty, then the
primary filter is damaged and you should replace
both filters.
Installing the Filters
Important: To prevent engine damage, always
operate the engine with both air filters and cover
installed.
1. If installing new filters, check each filter for shipping
damage. Do not use a damaged filter.
2. If the secondary filter is being replaced, carefully
slide it into the filter body (Figure 45).
3. Carefully slide the primary filter over the secondary
filter (Figure 45). Ensure that it is fully seated by
pushing on the outer rim of the filter while installing
it.
Important: Do not press on the soft inside area
of the filter.
4. Install the air cleaner cover with the breather cap
down and rotate so the retaining clamps lock the
cover in place (Figure 45).
