15. Insert the air filter element into the air filter
case, and then tighten the wing bolt.
NOTICE: Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the air filter
case. Never operate the engine with the air
filter element removed. Doing so would al-
low unfiltered air to enter the engine, caus-
ing rapid engine wear and possible engine
damage. Additionally, the fuel injection
system would be affected resulting in poor
engine performance and possible over-
heating.

16. Install the air filter case cover by hooking the holders onto the air filter case. 17. Install the seat.
TIPThe air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated
more often if the ATV is operated in extremely
dusty areas. Each time the air filter element main-
tenance is performed, check the air inlet of the air
filter case for obstructions. Check the air filter
case rubber joint to the throttle body and the rub-
ber joint manifold fittings for an air-tight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibility
of unfiltered air entering the engine. EBU30861Cleaning the spark arresterSelect a well-ventilated area free of combustible
materials and make sure the exhaust and muffler
