Unlock the clamp that holds the engine air cleaner assembly in place by releasing the clamp locking clip on the front portion of the assembly. • The clamp will spring open and remain attached to the left side of the assembly. 2. Swing the left side of the assembly open. 3. Remove the air filter element from the open end of the engine air cleaner assembly and replace it with a new element. • When replacing the element, be sure to align the nubs on both the air cleaner element and the open end of the air cleaner assembly. If these nubs are not aligned, the new element will not fit properly within the assembly and the assembly may malfunction. 4. Swing the left side of the assembly closed and secure the locking clamp.
