WARNING
To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative (-) cable first) before proceeding. (00307a)
WARNING
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)
2. Disconnect battery cables, negative (-) cable first.
NOTE
For carbureted models, refer to the Service Manual and check the warm-slow idle speed adjustment before removing the OE air cleaner backplate.

INSTALLATION
Install Air Cleaner
WARNING
The 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 Loctite 243 (blue) to threads of all fasteners.
  1. See Figure 1. Install two O-rings (1) from kit in grooves around breather screw holes on induction module side of backplate (2).
  2. Align flat edge of gasket (3) with the molded tab, and install on induction module side of backplate.
  3. Insert breather screws (A) through the backplate.
  4. Apply Loctite 243 (blue) to breather screw threads and mating tapped holes in cylinder head.
  5. Thread screws into cylinder head but do not tighten.
  6. Thread air cleaner studs (4) all the way through the backplate (2) and gasket (3) until the screw threads are captured in induction module. Do not tighten completely at this time.
  7. Alternately tighten two breather screws (A) to 120-144 in-lbs (13.6-16.3 Nm).
  8. Press breather plugs (5) into breather screw cavities, aligning tubes with recesses in backplate.
  9. Tighten three air cleaner studs (4) to 55-60 in-lbs (6.2-6.8 Nm).
Install Air Cleaner Element and Cover
NOTE
This is a dry air filter. Do not apply oil to the filter element.
When servicing the air cleaner, apply Loctite 243 (blue) to threads of all fasteners.
  1. See Figure 1. Secure air filter element (7) to air cleaner studs (4) using screws (6). Tighten screws to 55-60 in-lbs (6.2-6.8 Nm).
  2. Carefully remove and discard the original air cleaner cover insert from air cleaner cover (B). Remove any residual adhesive on the cover with mineral spirits.
  3. To ensure surface cleanliness, clean the insert area with a mixture of 50 to 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30 to 50% distilled water. Allow to dry thoroughly.
  4. Peel liner from adhesive backing of air cleaner cover insert (8). Position insert over air cleaner cover (B) without touching adhesive on cover surface. Line up top of insert with top of oval air cleaner cover.
  5. Press air cleaner cover insert firmly against the cover all around, and hold pressure for 30 seconds. After releasing pressure, avoid direct contact with the insert for about 20 minutes.
    6. NOTE
    Allow at least 24 hours after applying the insert before exposing the area to vigorous washing, strong water spray, or extreme weather. The adhesive bond will increase to maximum strength after about 72 hours at normal room temperatures.
  6. Apply Loctite 243 (blue) to threads of air cleaner cover screw (C). Secure air cleaner cover (B) to air filter element (8) with screw.
  7. Align air cleaner cover horizontally for best appearance, then tighten screw securely. Tighten to 36-60 in-lbs (4.1-6.8 Nm).
Final Assembly
WARNING
Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a)
  1. Connect battery cables, positive (+) cable first.
  2. Install seat according to the instructions in the Service Manual.
WARNING
After installing seat, pull upward on seat to be sure it is locked in position. While riding, a loose seat can shift causing loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00070b)

MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner Element Maintenance
NOTE
This is a dry air filter. Do not apply oil to the filter element.
When servicing the air cleaner, apply Loctite 243 (blue) to threads of all fasteners.
  1. See Figure 1. Remove air cleaner cover (B) and inspect the filter element (7) every 5000 mi (8000 km), or more often under dusty conditions.
  2. Clean filter element as follows:
    1. Remove and wash element by immersing it, on edge, in a shallow pan containing enough Air Cleaner/Degreaser to cover no more than 3/4 the depth of the filter pleats. Do not let dirty solution get inside the element. Carefully "roll" the element in the solution around its perimeter until the entire outer surface of the filter pleats has been soaked.
    2. Remove filter element from cleaner/degreaser and allow five minutes for the cleaner to dissolve the dirt.
    3. From the inside out, rinse the element with cold water. Shake off excess water, and allow the element to air dry. Do not dry with compressed air.
  3. Install air cleaner element and cover.
