Installation & Application Notes

Never run an engine without a filter — even briefly causes abrasive damage. Pre-fill fuel filters with clean fuel before fitting to reduce prime time. Replace O-rings on filter housings every second service. Record change dates on filter housing.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

A dirty or damaged air filter will first manifest as a loss of engine power and potentially rougher idling. If not replaced, the engine will continue to draw in contaminants, leading to accelerated wear on cylinder walls, piston rings, and valves. This can significantly shorten the engine's lifespan.

Installation Tip

Before installing the new filter, carefully inspect the air cleaner housing for any cracks or damage that could allow unfiltered air to enter. Ensure the new element seats firmly and creates a complete seal around its perimeter.

Service Note

Check the pre-cleaner bowl for accumulated debris and clean it as necessary.
