continue to ride your ATV without verifying that
you have regained proper braking ability.
cC
After riding your ATV in water, be sure to
drain the trapped water by removing the
check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. Wash the ATV in fresh water if it has
been operated in salt water or muddy condi-
tions.

2. Unhook the fastener and remove the air fil-
ter element.
3. Wash the element gently but thoroughly in
solvent.
w
Always use parts cleaning solvent to clean
the air filter element. Never use low flash
point solvents or gasoline to clean the air fil-
ter element because the engine could catch
fire or explode.
4. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the filter
and let it dry.
cC
Do not twist the filter element when squeez-
ing it.
5. Inspect the element. If damaged, replace it.
6. Apply SAE10W30 motor oil to the element.
NOTE:
The element should be wet but not dripping.
7. Reinstall the element and front cover.

NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20 ~ 40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricat-
ed more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time filter element
maintenance is performed, check the air inlet to
the filter case for obstructions. Check the air
cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor and mani-
fold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fit-
tings securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
cC
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, opera-
tion without the filter element will affect car-
buretor jetting with subsequent poor perfor-
mance and possible engine overheating.
