continue to ride your ATV without verifying that
you have regained proper braking ability.
cC

drain the trapped water by removing the
check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. Wash the ATV in fresh water if it has
been operated in salt water or muddy condi-

There is a check hose at the bottom of the air fil-
ter case. If dust or water collects in this hose,
empty the hose and clean the sponge material
and air filter case.
1. Remove the seat. (See page 4-29 for seat
removal and installation procedures.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by remov-
ing the screws.

3. Remove the air filter element, and separate
the sponge material from its frame by
removing the screw.
4. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent.
w
Always use parts cleaning solvent to clean
the sponge material. Never use low flash
point solvents or gasoline to clean the
sponge material because the engine could
catch fire or explode.
5. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the
sponge material and let it dry.
cC
Do not twist the sponge material when
squeezing it.

6. Inspect the sponge material. If damaged,
replace it.
7. Apply foam air filter oil to the sponge materi-
al.
NOTE:
The sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping.
8. Install the sponge material onto its frame
and install the screw.
9. Install the air filter element.
10. Install the air filter case cover by installing
the screws.
11. Install the seat.

NOTE:
The sponge material should be cleaned every
20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricat-
ed more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the filter case for obstructions. Check the
air filter case rubber joint to the carburetor and
manifold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all
fittings securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
cC
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, opera-
tion without the air filter element will affect
carburetor jetting with subsequent poor per-
formance and possible engine overheating.
