Removal and Installation
REMOVAL
1. Open the (A) air cleaner clamp and set the (B) outlet engine air cleaner aside.
2. Lift the (B) open end of the (A) inlet engine air cleaner until free of the (C) engine air cleaner support insulators.
CAUTION: The inlet engine air cleaner should be removed as an assembly. Do not separate the air cleaner from the fender inlet tube during
removal or installation.
3. Pull the inlet engine air cleaner away from the inner fender.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The air cleaner outlet tube should be securely sealed to prevent unmetered air from entering the engine.
NOTE: The inlet engine air cleaner has an alignment tab which fits into a slot on the outlet engine air cleaner. This ensures a good seal and keeps
unmetered air from entering the engine.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
