3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation of the air filter cap is essential for its function. Ensure the engine is turned off and cooled down before beginning the installation process.

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Locate the existing air filter assembly on your Kawasaki FX Series engine.
2. Remove Old Cap: Unlatch any clips or fasteners securing the old air filter cap. Carefully remove the old cap, noting its orientation.
3. Inspect Filter: While the cap is off, inspect the air filter element for dirt or damage. Replace the air filter if necessary according to your engine's service manual.
4. Position New Cap: Align the new Kawasaki 11011-7056 Air Filter Cap with the air filter housing. Ensure the 'TOP' indicator on the cap (refer to Figure 1) is correctly oriented upwards. The cap's outlet should align with the engine's air intake.
5. Secure Cap: Firmly press the cap into place, ensuring it seats properly around the air filter housing. Engage all clips or fasteners to secure the cap. Verify that the cap is tightly sealed to prevent unfiltered air from entering the engine.

Important: A loose or improperly seated cap can allow dirt and debris to bypass the air filter, leading to engine damage.

4. Operating Considerations

Once installed, the air filter cap operates passively by protecting the air filter. No specific user operation is required for the cap itself. Its primary function is to maintain the integrity of the air filtration system during engine operation.

5. Maintenance

Regular inspection of the air filter cap is recommended as part of your routine engine maintenance schedule.

Maintenance Guidelines:

• Visual Inspection: Periodically check the cap for any signs of cracks, damage, or deformation. Ensure all securing clips are intact and functional.
• Sealing Check: Verify that the cap remains securely seated and forms a tight seal around the air filter housing.
• Cleaning: If the exterior of the cap becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
• Replacement: If the cap is damaged, cracked, or no longer seals properly, it must be replaced immediately with a genuine Kawasaki 11011-7056 Air Filter Cap to prevent engine contamination.

If you experience issues related to the air filter cap, consider the following:

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Engine Running Poorly / Excessive Dust in Air Filter:
  • Cause: Air filter cap not properly seated or damaged.
  • Solution: Inspect the cap for proper installation and sealing. Replace the cap if any damage is found.
