Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not
continue to ride your ATV without verifying that
you have regained proper braking ability.CAUTION:_ 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 and the
check hose on the V-belt cooling duct. Wash
the ATV in fresh water if it has been operated in
salt water or muddy conditions. _

Air filter element cleaningNOTE:_ There is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case. _1. Remove the seat. (See page 4-45 for seat re-
moval procedure.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by unhook-
ing the holders.

3. Remove the air filter element and remove it
from its frame.
4. Wash the element gently but thoroughly in
solvent.
WARNING
_ Always use parts cleaning solvent to clean the
air filter element. Never use low flash point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the air filter element
because the engine could catch fire or ex-
plode. _5. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the filter
element and let it dry.CAUTION:_ Do not twist the filter element when squeezing
it. _6. Inspect the element and replace it if dam-
aged.
7. Apply foam air filter oil to the element. If foam
air filter oil is not available, motor oil may be
used.NOTE:_ The element should be wet but not dripping. _

8. Pull the element over its frame.
9. Install the element assembly.
10. Install the air filter case cover and be sure to
connect the hose.NOTE:_ The air filter element should be cleaned every 20 ~
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the machine is operated in extremely dusty
areas. Each time the 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 manifold fittings for an airtight
seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the pos-
sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine. _CAUTION:_ Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter, causing rapid engine wear and possible
engine damage. Additionally, operation with-
out the filter element will affect carburetor jet-
ting with subsequent poor performance and
possible engine overheating. _
