Air Filter
Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 53.
1. Lift the cargo box to access the
air box.
2. Remove the air box cover and
inspect the gasket. It should
adhere tightly to the cover and
seal all the way around.
3. Remove the air filter (1).
4. Do not attempt to clean the main
element. Install a new air filter.
NOTE: Apply a small amount of
general purpose grease to
the sealing edges of the
filter before installing.
5. Inspect the air box for oil or water deposits. If present, drain them
into a suitable container.
NOTE: Service the air filter more frequently if the vehicle is operated
in wet conditions or at high throttle openings for extended
periods.
