MAINTENANCE
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.
NOTICE:
Always check the air filter element after riding in severe
conditions and clean or replace as needed. Operating
the mini bike with a clogged air filter could cause engine
damage.
Air filter removal and cleaning:
Remove the Phillips head screw and set aside.
Remove the air filter cover and set aside.
Remove the air filter from the box.
Wash the element in a mild non-flammable solvent.
Squeeze out solvent by pressing the element between the
palms of both hands. Do not twist or wring the element or
it will develop cracks.
Immerse the element in oil, then squeeze as before to
remove excess. The element should be damp with oil but
not soaked.
Replace the air filter element in the box. Make sure the
element is securely in position and the air filter is properly
sealed.
Replace the air filter cover. Reinstall screw and tighten
securely.
NOTE: Do not operate the engine without the air filter ele-
ments in place. Rapid engine wear will result.
