Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Cleaner See “Scheduled Maintenance” in the Index.
To remove the air filter, lift the hood, unsnap both clips
and remove the top. After changing the filter, snap both
clips to secure the air cleaner. Be sure the air cleaner lid
is correctly positioned
to seal out dust and contaminants
that are harmful to your engine.
Make sure the fresh air hose is still attached after the
filter change.
Refer
to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
replace the air filter and the crankcase ventilation filter.
-
&A CAUTION:
Operating the engine with the air cleaner off can
cause you
or others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops flame if the engine
backfires.
If it isn’t there, and the engine
backfires, you could be burned. Don’t drive with
it
off, and be careful working on the engine with
the air cleaner off.
I NOTICE:
If the air cleaner is off, a backfire can cause a
damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily get
into your engine, which will damage it. Always
have the air cleaner in place when you’re driving.
