Assemble the air cleaner in reverse order of disassemble. Before put the filter
element in, please add about 10g SAE30 oil on the element to keep the ability of
filtering.
CAUTION:
y Dust deposit is one of the major causes of reducing output horsepower and increasing fuel
consumption.
y Change the air cleaner element more frequently to prolong the engine’s service life if the
ATV is driven on dusty area very often.
y If air cleaner is installed improperly, dust will be absorbed into cylinders, which may cause
a premature wear and reducing output power and engine life.
y Be careful not to soak the air cleaner when washing the ATV. Otherwise, it will cause
engine hard to start.
