Servicing Your Honda
Saf ety Precautions
Using the wrong air cleaner may result in premature engine damage.
Improper or lack of proper air cleaner maintenance can cause poor
perf ormance and premature engine wear.
Refer to on page .
Proper air cleaner maintenance is very important for off-road vehicles.
A dirty, water-soaked, worn-out, or defective air cleaner will allow dirt,
dust, mud, and other impurities to pass into the engine.
Service the air cleaner more frequently if you ride in unusually wet or
dusty areas. Your Honda dealer can help you determine the correct
service interval for your riding conditions.
Your ATV’s air cleaner has very specific performance requirements.
Use a new Honda Genuine air cleaner specified for your model or an air
cleaner of equal quality.
Proper air cleaner maintenance can prevent premature engine wear or
damage, expensive repairs, low engine power, poor gas mileage, and
spark plug fouling.
