1. Bolt
1. Loosen the bolt, remove the sponge from the air filter.
2. Wash the sponge material gently but thoroughly in solvent.
WARNING! 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.
3. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge material
and let it dry.
NOTICE:
Do not twist the sponge
material when squeezing it.
4. Check the sponge material and replace it if damaged.
5. Apply foam air filter oil or other quality foam air filter oil to
the sponge material.
TIP
The sponge material should be wet but not dripping.
6. Insert the air filter element into the air filter case, and then
tighten the bolt.
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
unfiltered sir to enter the engine, causing rapid 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.
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 areas. 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 fittings securely to avoid the
possibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.
Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. The carburetor is an important part of the
