Open the hood and locate the air filter housing on the left side of the engine. Disconnect the intake air hose and then remove the housing by disengaging it from the support.

Remove the cover by unscrewing the two retaining clips. Pull out the old filter and insert a new one. Before inserting the new filter, clean the inside of the housing from any dust deposits.

Carefully close the air box, ensuring it fits perfectly with the cover. Reattach the flexible hose.

Start the engine and check for proper operation.
