Using your DC Sports air filter is easy. First, locate your old air filter in the intake system. Remove the clamps and take out the old filter. Then, place the new DC Sports filter in its position and use the included clamp to secure it to the intake tubing. Make sure it's firmly attached. As for maintenance, check the filter regularly. If it looks dirty or clogged, you can clean it with a filter cleaning kit. Follow the instructions on the kit carefully. When cleaning, avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the cotton gauze. Also, make sure to let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it. Store the filter in a dry place when not in use.
