Steps

Lift the existing filter from the housing and clear loose debris from the airbox. Avoid letting dirt fall into the intake duct.
- Seat the replacement filter
Place the compatible filter in the housing with its sealing edge sitting evenly in the channel. Check that no corner is folded or pinched before closing the lid.
