Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all free

flowing oil

from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever dispose of oil
by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If
you have a problem properly disposing of your used oil,
ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling
center for help.

The engine air cleaner/filter
is located underneath a

driver’s side of the engine.

To check or replace the air filter:

1. Loosen the wing nut on the air duct and lift up on the

two clips located on the top of the filter assembly.

2. Then disconnect the duct and reposition it while

removing the side cover.

3. Pull out the filter.

4. Replace the air filter if necessary and be sure to

install the cover tightly when you are finished.

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
replace the air filter.
