Follow these general steps to replace your engine's air filter. Always refer to your specific engine's service manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.

- Clean Housing: Wipe away any dust or debris from inside the air filter housing.
- Install New Pre-filter: Place the new foam pre-filter over the primary air filter element.
- Install New Air Filter Combo: Insert the new air filter combo into the housing, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Reattach Housing Cover: Securely reattach the air filter housing cover using the clips or screws. Ensure a tight seal to prevent unfiltered air from entering the engine.
5. Maintenance
Regular inspection and replacement of your air filter are crucial for maintaining engine performance and preventing damage from airborne contaminants.
- Inspection: Periodically check the air filter for dirt, debris, or damage. The frequency of inspection depends on operating conditions (e.g., dusty environments require more frequent checks).
- Replacement: Replace the air filter combo when it appears dirty or clogged. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow, leading to reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and potential engine damage.
- Pre-filter Cleaning: The foam pre-filter can often be cleaned with warm, soapy water, rinsed thoroughly, and allowed to air dry completely before reinstallation. Refer to your engine manual for specific cleaning instructions.
