Air Filter
The air filter inside the air filter housing
must be clean to provide good engine
power and gas mileage. If the ATV is used
under normal conditions, service the filter
at the intervals specified in the Mainte-
nance Schedule. If operated in dusty, wet,
or muddy conditions, inspect and service
the filter more frequently.
1. Remove the seat; then remove both
Torx-head cap screws securing the
rear console to the side panels.

5. With the filter removed, place the
filter in a pan larger than the element
and spray both sides generously with
Cleaning Solvent; then let sit
approximately three minutes.
6. In a pan larger than the element,
with a mild detergent (dish soap)
and water, wash all the dirt and oil
off by squeezing the element, not
twisting it (wringing out or twisting
the filter can cause damage).
7. Rinse off any remaining soap.
8. Remove any excess water from the
element by matting with a towel.
CAUTION
Failure to inspect the air filter fre-
quently if the ATV is used in dusty,
wet, or muddy conditions can dam-
age the engine.
