as panels A and B. (See
page 6-5.)
3. Remove the fuel tank bolts, and
then lift the fuel tank away from the
air filter case.4. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
5. Pull the air filter element out.
6. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case.
CAUTION:

Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the
air filter case.
The engine should never be op-
erated without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.

stalling the screws.
8. Place the fuel tank in the original
position and install the bolts.
