NOTE:

The 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 ar- eas. Each time the air filter element maintenance

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.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the air filter element is prop- erly seated in the air filter case.

Never operate the engine with the air filter el- ement removed. This will allow unfiltered air to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear and possible engine damage. Addition- ally, operation without the air filter element will affect carburetor jetting with subsequent poor performance and possible engine over- heating.
