Air Filter
The air filter inside the air filter housing
must be kept clean to provide good
engine power and gas mileage. If the
ATV is used under normal conditions,
service the filter at the intervals speci-
fied. If operated in dusty, wet, or muddy
conditions, inspect and service the filter
more frequently. Use the following pro-
cedure to remove the filter and inspect
and/or clean it.
1. Remove the reinstallable rivets at
the rear of the steering post cover;
then unlatch the storage compart-
ment lid.

age the engine.
