THE FUEL
Handling the Fuel
•
Follow all directions and warnings on the fuel can.
• Keep the fuel tightly capped at all times. Some components in the fuel can evaporate very
quickly and upset the balance of the fuel.
• Do not store unused fuel in the fuel dispenser. Immediately return fresh unused fuel back into
the fuel can. Do not reclaim fuel from your vehicle’s tank.
• Do not mix old and new fuel. Never mix different brands of fuel together.
• Store the fuel in a cool dry location, away from any source of heat, ignition, or combustion.
• Read and follow the safety precautions on page 4 in this manual.
The Air Filter
The TRX 2.5R air filter is carefully designed to deliver maximum performance while protecting
your engine from dust and dirt. Use only the supplied filter.
You will not improve engine
performance by switching to an aftermarket filter
, and you may risk engine damage due to
poor filtration.
The TRX 2.5R air filter assembly consists of 3 pieces:
1.
A rubber filter base
2.
A plastic housing consisting of a permanently assembled mesh cap and body
3.
An oiled foam element
You must clean the filter after every hour of runtime,
even if the filter looks clean.
Dust (which
is often too fine to see) and dirt constantly move through the filter anytime the engine is
running. Even if you can’t see dirt on the filter, it is present inside the foam after any amount of
runtime. If you exceed the recommended cleaning intervals, your engine will be damaged.
Engine damage or wear due to dirt ingestion is easy to detect, and one of the top causes of
premature engine failure.
