Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air cleaner/filter is located at the front in the
center of the engine compartment. See ªEngine
Compartment Overviewº in the Index for more
information on location.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
replace the air 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.

To remove the engine air cleaner/filter, do the following:
1. Unlatch the two clamps located on the front of
the filter.
2. Lift the cover and remove the filter.
3. Replace the filter. See ªNormal Maintenance
Replacement Partsº in the Index for the type
