CHECKING

If clearance is not within specifications, loosen the jam
nut and rotate the tappet adjuster screw until the clear-
ance is within specifications. Tighten each jam nut
securely after completing the adjustment.
CAUTION
A torn air filter element can cause damage to the ATV
engine. Dirt and dust may get inside the engine if the
element is torn. Carefully examine the element for tears
before and after cleaning it. Replace the element with a
new one if it is torn.
CAUTION
Failure to properly seat and align the filter element may
cause severe engine damage.
CAUTION
Failure to fully engage the inlet boots to the indicator
marks could result in ingestion of dirt and severe
engine damage.
CAUTION
The feeler gauge must be positioned at the same angle
as the valve and valve adjuster for an accurate measure-
ment of clearance. Failure to measure the valve clear-
ance accurately could cause valve component damage.
