CHECKING/CLEANING AIR FILTER
The air filter element must be kept clean to provide good
engine power. If you use your vehicle under normal, low-
tension conditions, you should service the air filter at the
intervals specified. If you ride in dusty, wet, or muddy con-
ditions, you will need to inspect the air filter element much
more frequently.
NOTE: Do not operate the engine without the air filter ele-
ments in place. Rapid engine wear will result.
CAUTION:
Always check the air filter element after riding in severe
conditions and clean or replace as needed. Operating
the ATV with a clogged air filter could cause engine
damage.
Checking the air filter:
There is a clear air filter check cap at the bottom of the air
filter case. If there is dust or water in this cap, empty the cap
and clean the air filter element and case.
