fits properly into the housing.

serviced, the indicator should be reset. Push the

See ªNormal Replacement Partsº for the proper filter
to use.

replace the engine air cleaner/filter and crankcase
ventilation filter. See ªScheduled Maintenance Servicesº
in the Index.
CAUTION:
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 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/filter off.
NOTICE:
If the air cleaner/filter 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/filter in place when
you're driving.
