MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner, 2 Cycle
Dual Stage Air Cleaner - 300 Style
The primary pre-cleaner foam boot is designed to re-
move the majority of dust particles before they reach
the secondary dry filter element.
Primary Pre-cleaner Foam Boot
Inspect the primary air cleaner boot in accordance with
the maintenance schedule.
1. Remove the seat.
2. Remove the primary air filter box.
3. Remove the yellow pre-cleaner foam boot, held in
place by a gray collar, from the air box. Do not re-
move the collar.
4. Carefully wash the foam boot in soapy water and dry
it thoroughly. Replace the pre-filter if the element is
torn or damaged.
5. Apply 1 to 2 teaspoons 2 cycle injection oil to the
foam pre-filter. Squeeze filter gently to distribute oil
evenly over entire filter. Squeeze out the excess into
an absorbant cloth.
6. Reinstall the foam boot onto the air filter box.
7. Reinstall the primary air filter box removed in step 2.
NOTE:
There will be some resistance. Be sure the
black rubber sealing ring is securely positioned over
the main filter neck.
CAUTION:
When installing the primary air filter box be
sure the gray foam collar (B) is below the air intake
opening of the air box intake duct (A). Improper installa-
tion will restrict airflow to the engine possibly resulting
in a rich mixture and poor running.
