Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not
continue to ride your ATV without verifying that
you have regained proper braking ability.
cC
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 operated in salt water or muddy condi-
tions.

ter 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 4-29 for seat
removal and installation procedures.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
unhooking the holders.

5. 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.
6. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the
sponge material and let it dry.
cC
Do not twist the sponge material when
squeezing it.
7. Inspect the sponge material and replace it
if damaged.
8. Apply foam air filter oil to the sponge mate-
rial.

NOTE:
The sponge material should be wet but not drip-
ping.
9. Pull the sponge material over its frame.
10. Install the air filter element by installing the
wing bolt.
11. Install the air filter case cover by hooking
the holders onto the filter case.
12. Install the seat.
NOTE:
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 areas. Each time air filter element mainte-
nance is performed, check the air inlet to the air
filter case for obstructions. Check the air intake
duct between the air filter case and the throttle
body and the manifold fittings for an airtight seal.
Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the possibili-
ty of unfiltered air entering the engine.

cC
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter the engine, causing rapid engine
wear and possible engine damage.
Additionally, operation without the air filter
element will affect the fuel injection system
with subsequent poor performance and pos-
sible engine overheating.
