ASV SC50 Scout, Service & Repair Manual

Page: 25 / 111

Air Cleaner
The Scout is equipped with two air filter elements that
remove contaminants from the air drawn into the
engine. Regular inspection and replacement is neces-
sary to ensure proper performance and to prolong
engine life.
To remove and inspect the air cleaner elements:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Open the passenger side access door on the rear
console enclosure (behind the seats) to access the
air cleaner housing.
3. Release the latches securing the cover (A) to the
air cleaner housing, then rotate the bottom of the
cover (rubber boot) upward past the metal plate
housing the filler openings. Slide the cover out
face down between the door latch tab and the filler
caps to remove it from the machine.
4. Remove the primary element (B) and inspect it. If it
appears damaged in any way, replace it. If the ele-
ment is heavily soiled, replace it. If it appears to be
in good condition, clean the element (if necessary)
and reinstall it.
5. Once the primary element has been removed, the
secondary element (C) will be visible. Remove the
element and inspect it. If it appears damaged or
heavily soiled, replace it.
6. Install the new, or clean used elements into the
housing as found upon removal.
7. Reverse steps 2 and 3 to reinstall the housing
cover.
Note: The secondary element is not serviceable. It
should be replaced after three cleanings of the primary
filter.
Note: The primary element may be cleaned and
reused up to five times if properly maintained, but
should be replaced at least once a year.
Primary Element Cleaning Procedure
1.
Remove loose dirt from the filter element with com
pressed air or a water hose.
Compressed air: 100 P.S.I. maximum with a 1/8” noz-
zle at least 2” away from the the filter.
Water: 40 P.S.I. maximum without a nozzle.
2. Soak the filter in a non sudsing detergent solution
for at least 15 minutes moving it gently through the
solution to further clean the element. Never soak for
more than 24 hours.
3. Rinse the filter thoroughly with a gentle stream of
water to remove all dirt and remaining detergent.
4. Allow the filter to dry completely before reinstalling it
into the machine.
NOTICE
Do not use any heat source other than warm air at less than
160° F to dry the filter.
NOTICE
Do not clean the air filter elements while the engine warranty
is in effect. During the warranty period, ASV recommends
replacing the elements instead of cleaning them. Heavy- duty
air filter manufacturers will not warrant the air filter once it
has been cleaned.
