How to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

To inspect or replace the air cleaner/ filter:
- Remove the six screws and lift the cover out of the assembly.
- Inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter.
- Lower the cover and secure with the six screws.
See Maintenance Schedule on page 11-3 for replacement intervals.
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.
Caution
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.
