Air Cleaner
The ST-50 is equipped with two
air filter elements that remove
contaminants from the air drawn
into the engine. Regular inspec-
tion and replacement is neces-
sary to ensure proper perform-
ance 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 con-
sole enclosure (behind the
seats) to access the air clean-
er housing.
3. Release the latches securing
the cover (A) to the air clean-
er housing, then rotate the
bottom of the cover (rubber
boot) upward past the metal
plate housing the filler open-
ings. 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 element 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 dam-
aged 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 rein-
stall 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.
