Air Cleaner Housing: Service and Repair

REMOVAL:


1. Remove the clamps as necessary to remove the air cleaner lid.
2. Remove the air cleaner element. Visually inspect the element and the air cleaner cover and body for signs of dust or dirt leaking through holes in the filter media or past the seals. Place a light behind the filter and look through the filter at the light. Even the smallest hole is cause for replacement. Also check the element for deformed seals or for charred or brittle spots that could fail under engine operation and cause a hole. Discoloration is not cause for replacement.

INSTALLATION:

1. Wipe all inside surfaces of the air cleaner body and cover, and install the filter.
2. Install the air cleaner cover and screws and tighten.
