Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not
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.

Air filter cleaning
NOTE:
There is a check hose at the bottom of the air fil-
ter case. If dust or water collects in this hose,
empty the hose and clean the air filter element
and air filter case.
1. Remove the seat.
2. Remove the air filter case cover.

3. Remove the air filter element, and sepa-
rate it from the guide.
4. 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.
5. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the filter
and let it dry.
cC
Do not twist the filter element when
squeezing it.

8-49
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.

throttle cable adjustment may be necessary.

2. Push the throttle lever forward until it stops
and hold it in this position.
3. Check through the window of each carbu-
retor to see if the punch mark on the throt-
tle valve is at the specified position.

adjusters until proper position is obtained.
5. Move the throttle lever a few times and
recheck the position.
