Installation (Fig. 1)
IMPORTANT: Any leaks in the air filter system will
cause serious engine damage. Make sure that all air
cleaner components are in good condition and are
properly secured during assembly.
1. Assemble air filter system.
A. If service indicator (item 11) or adapter was re-
moved from air cleaner housing, apply thread seal-
ant to adapter threads before installing adapter and
indicator. Install adapter so that grooves in adapter
hex and adapter filter element are installed toward
service indicator (Fig. 3). Torque indicator from 12 to
15 in−lb (1.4 to 1.6 N−m).
B. Orientate vacuator valve on air cleaner cover to-
ward ground.
C. Install air cleaner so air cleaner strap (item 10) is
as close as possible to air cleaner cover.
D. Make sure that air cleaner hose (item 17) does
not contact engine valve cover or other engine com-
ponents. To modify clearance, move and/or rotate air
cleaner body in air cleaner strap. Verify that tabs in
strap mesh fully with slots in air cleaner body.

is complete.
