8case. Never operate the engine with the air
filter element removed. This will allow un-
filtered air to enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear and possible engine
damage. Additionally, operation without
the air filter element will affect carburetor
jetting with subsequent poor performance
and possible engine overheating.
[ECB00462]
12. 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 carburetor fittings and the
rubber joint manifold fittings for an air-tight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibility
of unfiltered air entering the engine. EBU27083Cleaning the spark arresterBe sure the exhaust pipe and muffler are cool be-
