AIR INTAKE AND COOLING FINS

b u r n s , e n g i n e p a r t s
should be kept clean to
reduce risk of overheating and ignition of accumulat-
ed debris.
After every off road use, allow to cool and then check for
a build up of dirt and debris in the air intake and cooling
fins. Dirt and debris may clog the engine’s air cooling
system. Clean areas shown to prevent engine damage
(Ref. Fig. 31 on page 20) (Ref. Fig. 32 on page 20). Keep
linkages, springs and controls clean. Keep area around
muffler free of any combustible material.
REAR AXLE
The rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check plug
located on the driver side at the rear of the housing (Ref.
Fig. 33 on page 20). Unless leakage of rear axle lubricant
is evident, an annual lubricant check is sufficient.
Checking the Lubricant Level
Tool List Qty. Required
Socket, 13 mm, 3/8" drive............................................ 1
Ratchet, 3/8" drive ....................................................... 1
Funnel.......................................................................... 1
Clean the area around the check and fill plugs. Remove
the check plug. The correct lubricant level is just below
the bottom of the threaded hole (Ref. Fig. 39 on page
23). If lubricant is to be added, remove the fill plug and
add lubricant using a funnel. Add lubricant slowly until
lubricant starts to seep from the check plug hole. Install
the check plug and the fill plug. In the event that the lubri-
cant is to be replaced, a drain plug is provided at the bot-
tom of the differential housing.
AIR CLEANER INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT

damage, be sure that bottom tabs of
cover are installed in enclosure and top of cover is installed
under top tabs. Secure all spring clips.
The air cleaner unit on the vehicle is a dry unit.
Do not use oil on the filter element or any part
of the unit. To aide installation and sealing, petroleum jelly may
be applied to back side of cover tabs and each side of filter
seal.
The air cleaner is attached to the engine and may be
accessed by raising the seat. Inspect and replace air fil-
ter in accordance with the Periodic Service Schedule
(Ref. Fig. 17 on page 13). The air cleaner element is
accessible by unsnapping top clips from the air box and
swinging the cover open. Remove cover and air filter ele-
ment (Ref. Fig. 34 on page 21). Clean inside of cover and
