BREATHER FILTER / LINES
INSPECTION
Four cycle ATV engines are equipped with a breather
filter. The in-line filter is similar in appearance to a fuel
filter. The breather filter is located behind the fuel tank
foam on Sportsman MV models.
In-line breather filters should be installed with the
arrow pointing toward the engine (away from the air
box). See Illustrations, next page.
