Replacing this filter is very simple and should be done frequently to keep the engine efficient. Open the hood and locate the filter housing in the center of the engine.

Disconnect the cover by simply pulling it outward with your hands. Remove the old filter from the housing and insert a new filter.

Before inserting the new filter, clean the interior of any dust deposits. Carefully close the air box, ensuring it fits snugly with the cover.

Start the engine and check for proper operation.
