dislodge the dirt and dust. Do not use
compressed air.
5. Insert a suitable light into the dry-
paper air filter and look for any “pin-

ter medium. A bright “pin-point” of
light indicates a hole and the filter
element must be replaced.

dirt build-up. If dirt is present on the
element, it indicates a leak or hole in
the dry-paper air filter element and
both elements must be replaced.
7. Install the safety element; then install
the dry-paper air filter.
8. Check the drain valve in the air filter
housing cover for dirt, deterioration,
