parts cleaning solvent to clean the sponge
material. Never use low-flash-point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the sponge ma-
terial because the engine could catch fire
or explode.

13. Install the air filter element into the air filter
case.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the air filter
element is properly seated in the air filter
case. Never operate the engine with the air
filter element removed. This will allow un-
filtered air to enter the engine, causing rap-
id 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.
[ECB00461]

14. Install the air filter case cover by installing the
screws.15. Install the breather hose and then tighten the
clamp screw.
16. Install the seat.TIP

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 fit-
tings securely to avoid the possibility of unfiltered
air entering the engine.
