Fifthly, engaging the at least one engaging member (354a, 354b) of the air inlet member (352) with the at least one insertion tab (314a, 314b) of the top wall (308). Finally, attaching removably at-least one mounting provision (355a, 355b) of the air inlet member (352) with the top wall (308) through the at-least one fastener member (370a, 370b).

[00061] In order to assemble the air intake system (300) of the present disclosure, the air cleaner housing (302) is mounted on the frame (12) of the vehicle (10), and the top wall (308) is connected to the air cleaner housing (302). The filtration member (350) is also fitted onto the opening (312) of the top wall (308). The air inlet member (352) is mounted on the top wall (308). In order to connect the air inlet member (352) on the top wall (308), for example, during servicing and repair, the body portion (356) is positioned on the top wall (308). In an embodiment, the body portion (356) is positioned on the top wall (308) such that the first edge (360a) and the second edge (360b) is positioned between the first guiding member (316a) and the second guiding member (316b). Subsequently, the air inlet member (352) is pushed and moved, for example towards the insertion tab (314a), and the insertion tab (314b). As a result of the movement of the air inlet member (352), the first engaging member (354a) engages with the insertion tab (314a), and the second engaging member (354b) engages with the insertion tab (314b). Post such alignment and insertion, the air inlet member (352) is connected to the top wall (308), using connecting members, such as fasteners (not numbered). [00062] The air cleaning system (300) of the present invention therefore makes removal of air inlet member (352) for purposes of accessing the filtration member (350), convenient and quick. Further, since the first guiding member (316a) is at the predefined distance“Dl” from the primary insertion tab (314a) and at a predefined position with respect to the insertion tab (314a), when the first edge (360a) is moved along the first guiding member (316a), the first engaging member (354a) aligns with the insertion tab

(314a). Owing to this alignment, facilitated by the first guiding member (316a), the air cleaning system (300) of the present disclosure, makes it easy and convenient to install the air inlet member (352) on the top wall (308). Likewise, since the second guiding member (316b) is at the predefined distance“D2” from the secondary insertion tab (314b) and at a predefined position with respect to the insertion tab (314b), when the second edge (360b) is moved along the second guiding member (316b), the second engaging member (354b) aligns with the insertion tab (314b). Owing to this alignment, facilitated by the second guiding member (316b), the air cleaning system (300) of the present disclosure, makes it easy and convenient to install the air inlet member (352) on the top wall (308). [00063] In light of the above, a need for removing the fuel tank (26) for removing the air inlet member (352) for purposes of accessing the filtration member (350), is precluded. Further, by conveniently aligning the primary insertion tab (314a), and the secondary insertion tab (314b) with the first engaging member (354a) and the second engaging member (354b), the present disclosure, removed difficulties and problems associated with misalignment and incorrect fitment of the primary insertion tab (314a), and the secondary insertion tab (314b) with the first engaging member (354a) and the second engaging member (354b).

[00064] Moreover, the position of the first guiding member (316a) and the second guiding member (316b) of the top wall (308), adjacent to the first edge (360a) and the second edge (360b) of the air inlet member (352), also precludes ingress of any impurity through to the opening (312). Furthermore, the cable routing support member (318a) and the cable routing support member (318b), positioned on the top wall (308) facilitate routing of cables therethrough. [00065] Another advantage of the present invention that it removed difficulties and problems associated with misalignment and incorrect fitment of the air inlet member (352) on the top wall (308).

[00066] Another advantage of the present invention, to enhance the life span of the air intake system (300) by not removing every component of the air intake system (300) while servicing the vehicle (10).
