Installation Guide

1. Locate the Existing Filter: Open the engine compartment and locate the current air filter housing. It is typically positioned near the front of the engine bay, protected by a metal or plastic cover.
2. Remove the Old Filter: Unscrew or unlatch the housing cover, then gently lift out the old filter. Dispose of it responsibly.
3. Prepare the New Filter: Remove any protective packaging from the C 4287/1. Inspect the filter media for any visible damage before installation.
4. Insert the New Filter: Place the new filter into the housing, ensuring it sits flush against the sealing surfaces. The filter’s orientation should match that of the original.
5. Secure the Housing Cover: Reattach the cover and tighten any screws or latches to secure the filter in place.
6. Check for Leaks: After installation, start the engine and inspect the filter area for any air leaks. Tighten further if necessary.
