cleaner/filter do the following:
1. Lift the filter cover tabs on top of
the engine air cleaner/filter
housing.
2. Push the filter cover housing
toward the engine.
3. Pull out the filter.
4. Inspect or replace the engine air
cleaner/filter.
5. To reinstall the cover, position
the tabs through the hinges on
the housing.
6. Push the cover tabs on top of
the housing to lock the cover
in place.

WARNING
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. Use caution when
working on the engine and do not
drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is
off, dirt can easily get into the
engine, which could damage it.
Always have the air cleaner/filter
in place when you are driving.
