Replacement steps of air filter:

The first step is to open the engine compartment cover and confirm the position of the air filter. The air filter is generally located on the left side of the engine compartment, that is, above the left front wheel. A square plastic black box can be seen, and the filter element is installed inside. There are four clips around the housing cover, which are used to press the plastic housing over the air filter and maintain the seal of the intake pipe. The structure of the clip is relatively simple. We only need to gently break the two metal clips upward to lift the entire upper cover of the air cleaner. There will also be individual models that use screws to fix the air filter. At this time, you need to select a suitable screwdriver to unscrew the screws on the air filter box to open the plastic housing and see the air filter inside;

The second step is to take out the air filter element and check whether there is much dust. You can gently tap the end face of the filter element, or use compressed air to clean the dust on the filter element from inside to outside. Do not use tap water to wash. If the air filter is seriously blocked, replace it with a new one. Comparing the old and new filters, we can find (check the transaction price | participation | preferential policies) that the filter paper of the old filter has blackened. This is because a lot of dust has accumulated in the paper fiber. Excessive dust accumulation will inevitably lead to low air flow, resulting in poor engine working conditions and reduced power performance. Therefore, regular replacement of the air filter is helpful to maintain the engine's dynamic performance;

The third step is to thoroughly clean the air filter box after handling the air filter element. Generally, a large amount of dust will be accumulated under the air filter, which is the reason why the engine power decreases (check the transaction price | participation | preferential policies);

Step 4: When installing a new air filter, we need to pay attention to a protruding plastic sheet on the right under the air filter. This plastic sheet is designed to prevent the air filter from being installed backwards. When installing the air filter, the plastic sheet should be clamped into the slot of the filter base before it can be installed in place;

After confirming that the air filter is installed in place, the shell can be covered, and the four clips on the edge can be buckled to complete the work;
