6. Put the element in a plastic bag; then pour in air filter oil and
work the oil into the element.
7. Squeeze the element to remove excess oil.

inside the air cleaner. Be sure
no dirt enters the carburetor.
9. Install the air filter and cover.
10. Connect the inlet boot and

Air Filter Housing
Drain
Inspect the “duck bill” drain in front
of the main housing for debris and
for proper sealing.
Draining V-Belt
Cover
NOTE: If the ATV has been
driven through water, the V-belt
cover must be drained of any
water.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain bolt from the cover and allow the water to
drain out.
3. Shift the range lever to the neutral position; then start the engine.
4. Increase and decrease engine RPM several times to “blow out”
any water; then stop the engine.
5. Install the drain bolt and tighten securely.
NOTE: The V-belt and pulleys should be inspected every
500 miles and the belt replaced (if necessary).
Tires
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on an ATV is
very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this
minimum specification.
Tire Replacement
The ATV has low-pressure tubeless tires. Air is sealed by the contact
surfaces of the inner wheel rim and the tire bead. If either the inner
wheel rim or tire bead is damaged, air may leak. Be extremely careful
not to damage these areas when replacing tires.
CAUTION
A torn air filter can cause damage to the ATV engine. Dirt and
dust may get inside the engine if the element is torn. Care-
fully examine the element for tears before and after cleaning
it. Replace the element with a new one if it is torn.
