    • Before starting, ensure that the engine is not running and is not hot.

    • Pull the tab until the filter cover opens. Remove the filter cover.

    • Note that the bottom of the cover is hinged.

    • Remove the air filter.

    • The air filter will be either an oily sponge, or an accordion-folded fabric.

    • Note that the air filter is saturated with oil. Wear gloves and use paper towels to avoid creating a mess.
