Installation Guide
- Turn off the engine and allow it to cool completely. Ensure the vessel's power supply is disconnected.
- Locate the air filter housing on your engine. It is typically a large plastic or metal container connected to the air intake.
- Carefully release the clips or remove the screws/bolts that secure the housing cover. Set them aside in a safe place.
- Remove the cover and take out the old air filter element. Note its orientation before removal.
- Use a clean cloth or a vacuum to wipe the inside of the housing, removing any dust, dirt, or debris.
- Insert the new air filter, ensuring it is seated correctly and creates a tight seal all the way around.
- Replace the housing cover and re-fasten the clips, screws, or bolts. Do not overtighten.
