MAINTENANCE
Breather Filter/Hose
Always inspect and replace the breather filter at the intervals outlined in
the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 70.
1. Remove the hose clamps
from the filter and pull the
filter out of the hoses.
NOTE:
It's not necessary to
remove the lower hose
from the engine.
2. Inspect the filter for debris.
Blow gently through the fil-
ter in the direction of the
arrow to check for clogging.
Replace a damaged or
clogged filter.
3. Check the hoses for cracks,
deterioration, abrasion, or leaks. Replace as needed.
4. Reinstall the filter with the arrow pointing toward the air box.
Secure the hose clamps.
NOTE:
The breather filter is intended to be used with the air box pre-filter in
place. Without the pre-filter, the breather filter can clog quickly.
CAUTION
Operation of your vehicle without both the pre-filter and breather filter can
cause engine damage. Always reinstall both filters after removing them for
service.
