If your check reveals damage, do NOT install the filter. 7 Install the new filter The critical sealing area will compress slightly, adjust itself and distribute the sealing pressure evenly.

refasten the latches Replace the service cover. The
“INLET” arrow should line up with the air cleaner inlet. DO NOT force cover onto air cleaner. The cover should go on with no extra force. If cover is not flush to the body, the filter is not properly seated in the housing.
APPLICATION NOTE
Avoid dislodging contaminant from the filter
or knocking it against the housing. 4 Clean the inside surface
Main Filter
The “INLET” arrow should line up with the air cleaner inlet.
Never use the service cover to push the filter into place! Using the cover to push the filter could cause damage to the housing and will void the warranty. APPLICATION NOTE
Using a soft rag, remove all the dust and debris from the inside surface of the housing. Be careful not to introduce contaminant into the outlet tube. Failure to do so may cause contaminant to be introduced to the seal area of the main filter during reinstallation, causing a leak. Leaks result in higher restriction on the safety filter and shorter filter life. 5 Check the safety filter. Replace every third primary filter change The safety filter should be changed every third primary filter change out. APPLICATION NOTE
If the service cover hits the filter before it is fully in place, remove the cover and push the filter further into the housing and try again. The cover should go on with no extra force. Refasten latches to secure cover. Make sure that latches penetrate the slots in both the body and the cover. 9 Inspect the intake system

Dust from the main filter may be evident on the safety filter. This is normal. At each 1st and 2nd primary filter change, check safety filter for damage. If damaged, replace. Also check to ensure the safety filter is properly seated in the housing. It should fit snugly inside the outlet tube. Continue pushing the filter into the outlet tube until it stops.
