Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do
not continue to ride your ATV without verifying
that you have regained proper braking ability.
CAUTION:
After riding your ATV in water, be sure to
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 op-
erated in salt water or muddy conditions.

Air filter element cleaning
NOTE:
There is a check hose at the bottom of the air
filter case. If dust or water collects in this hose,
empty the hose and clean the air filter element
and air filter case.
1. Remove the seat. (See page 8-15 for seat
removal procedure.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by un-
hooking the holders.
3. Remove the air filter element and remove
it from its frame.
4. Wash the element gently but thoroughly
in solvent.
WARNING
Always use parts cleaning solvent to clean the
air filter element. Never use low flash point sol-
vents or gasoline to clean the air filter element
because the engine could catch fire or explode.

NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20 ~ 40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubri-
cated more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time the filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the filter case for obstructions. Check
the air cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor
and manifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tight-
en all fittings securely to avoid the possibility
of unfiltered air entering the engine.
CAUTION:
Never operate the engine with the air filter el-
ement removed. This will allow unfiltered air
to enter, causing rapid engine wear and possi-
ble engine damage. Additionally, operation
without the filter element will affect carbure-
tor jetting with subsequent poor performance
and possible engine overheating.
