CHECkNG & CLEANNG THE AR FLTER
Air filter is located under left side plastic cowling. Cowling will need to be removed.
Take the air filter out and check to see if it is dirty or torn.
Remove foam element and wash with water and allow to dry per instructions below.
Apply a few drops of machine oil. Squeeze it with a dry cloth to remove excess oil.
Recommended oil: SAE 15W-40
CAUTON
The air filter element must be intact or the engine will suck in dust and dirt, resulting in a
shorter service life of the engine.
Water should be prevented from entering into the filter when washing the vehicle.
The filter element shall be cleaned gently without twisting to prevent it from cracking.
Never wash it with gasoline or any acid, alkaline or organic volatile oil to avoid its aging,
which will result in reducing the effect of the air filter oil to catch particles before they
enter the engine. Replace the filter element with a new one if it is broken or cracked.
