CAUTION:

Inspect the element carefully for rips, etc. If any damage is noted, replace the element.

• Reinstall the cleaned or new cleaner element in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air cleaner element more frequently. The surest way to accelerate engine wear is to use the engine without the element or to use a ruptured element. Make sure that the air cleaner is in good condition at all times. Life of the engine depends largely on this compo­ nent!
