Inspection
5.3. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, with the
ignition turned off, and lift the load bed to provide
access to the drive system.
5.4. Allow the exhaust system to cool before pro-
ceeding.
5.5. Inspect the CVT system air filter. The filter is
located in front of the outer cover for the CVT. It
is connected to the intake plenum by a molded
hose, and it is connected to the outer CVT cover
by a flexible hose. See Figure 5.5.
5.6. Remove the two wing screws from the air filter
cover.
5.7. Lift the cover and remove the filter.
See Figure 5.7.
5.8. The CVT air filter has a foam wrap pre-filter over
the paper filter element. The foam wrap can be
washed in mild detergent, rinsed, dried, and re-
used. Do not oil the foam wrap. See Figure 5.8.
5.9. The paper filter can be tapped-out. Do not blow
it clean with pressurized air. Replace it if it
shows significant dirt between the pleats.
5.10. To remove the CVT drive cover, the air filter
assembly must be removed.
5.11. Loosen the hose clamp that secures the flexible
hose from the air filter to the CVT cover, and dis-
connect the hose from the cover.
See Figure 5.11.
