3. Clean the inside of the air cleaner cover with
compressed air.
4. Gently slide the primary filter out of the air cleaner
body (Fig. 37). Avoid knocking the filter into the side
of the air cleaner.
5. Remove the safety filter only if you intend to replace
it.
Important
Never attempt to clean the safety filter. If
the safety filter is dirty, then the primary filter is damaged
and you should replace both filters.
6. Inspect the primary filter for damage by looking into
the filter while shining a bright light on the outside of
the filter. Damage and holes in the filter will appear as
bright spots. If the filter is damaged discard it.
