2. Remove the air filter element from the air filter housing.

3. Wipe the air filter housing and cover clean to remove any dirt or debris and to ensure good sealing.

4. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element edges between the air filter housing and cover. This could cause filter damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly seated.
