Installing High Performance Air Cleaner
WARNINGThe element in this kit is specifically designed for use with the OE (original equipment) cover. Using this kit with an air cleaner cover other than the OE cover could lead to failure of the element faceplate. The kit may be used in conjunction with other H-D accessory covers provided the appropriate adapter recommended in those kits is used. If the element faceplate fails the cover could detach possibly distracting the rider which could result in death or serious injury. (00400b)
NOTE
When servicing the air cleaner, apply two or three drops of Loctite 243 (blue) to threads of all fasteners.

Install the banjo bolts (with washer) through mounting bracket, through second set of washers, through breather bushings, through third set of washers then thread into tapped hole in cylinder head as shown. Do NOT tighten completely at this time. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 6. | See Figure 4. Obtain the three 1/4-20 studs (1) and gasket from kit. Align gasket with backplate. Apply a small amount of Loctite to threads and install studs through backplate, gasket, then thread into carburetor Do NOT completely tighten at this time. | |||||||||||||||||||
| 7. | Obtain the 1/4-20 flathead TORX® screws (2) from kit. Apply a small amount of Loctite to threads and secure backplate to mounting bracket. Tighten screws to 6.2–6.8 N·m (55–60 in-lbs). | |||||||||||||||||||

| 9. | Return to banjo bolts and breather bushings installed during Step 5. Orient the breather tubes and breather fittings to provide adequate clearance for the intake mechanisms behind backplate. When banjo bolts are tightened, the barbed portion of the breather bushings should be near horizontal, and tubes in front of backplate should be facing inward shown in Figure 4. Tighten the banjo bolts to 14–16 N·m (10–12 ft-lbs). NOTE Crankcase ventilation is critical for proper oil system operation. If the tubes appear kinked anywhere, reorient tubes. If necessary, loosen banjo bolt to reorient tube. |
