the filter while shining a bright light on the outside of
the filter.

the filter is dirty, bent, or damaged, replace it. Do not
clean the primary filter.

Do not attempt to clean the safety
filter. If the safety filter is dirty, then the primary
filter is damaged. Replace both filters.

operate the engine with both air filters and the
cover installed.

shipping damage.
