AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner element must be kept clean to provide good engine power.
If you use your vehicle under normal, low-tension conditions, you should
service the air cleaner at the intervals specified. If you ride in dusty, wet, or
muddy conditions, you will need to inspect the air cleaner element much more
frequently. Use the following procedures to remove the element and inspect
it.
WARNING
Operating the engine without the air cleaner element in place could
be hazardous.
If the air cleaner element did not filter dirt, severe engine damage
would occur if the dirt entered the running engine.
Never run the engine without the air cleaner element in place.
CAUTION
Failing to inspect the air cleaner element frequently if the vehicle is
used in dusty, wet, or muddy conditions could damage your ATV.
The air cleaner element could become clogged under these
conditions, and engine damage may result.
Always check the air cleaner element after riding in severe
conditions. Clean or replace the elements as necessary. If water
gets in the air cleaner case, immediately clean the element and the
inside of the case.
