Procedure

1. Hold the cartridge in the same manner as when removing it from the housing.
2. Insert the clean cartridge into the housing.
3. Avoid hitting the cartridge tubes against the sealing flange on the edges of the air cleaner housing.
4. Firmly press all edges and corners of the cartridge with your fingers to effect a positive air seal against the sealing flange of the housing.
5. The cartridge must not be pounded or pressed in the center to seal.
6. Replace the pre-cleaner panel and tighten the wing nuts by hand.
7. For final tightness, turn the wing nuts 1 to 1-1/2 turns with a small adjustable wrench.
8. On a pre-cleaner with an exhaust aspirator, assemble the aspirator tube to the pre-cleaner panel and tighten the u-bolt.
9. Reset the mechanical inlet air restriction indicator.
