The air cleaner lid secures the air filter to the trimmer. It also prevents large debris from entering the air cleaner assembly. If the trimmer is dropped or otherwise impacted, it is not uncommon for the air cleaner lid to crack or break. Fortunately, replacing the component is very easy to do. This article will show you how to remove and install the air cleaner lid on an Echo trimmer (the model shown in this tutorial is the Echo SRM-225).
