MAINTENANCE
CHECKING & CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
1. Air filter is located under seat. To get to the air filter remove bolts from each side of
seat. Remove air filter cover
2. Take the air filter out and check to see if it is dirty or torn.
3. Remove foam element and wash with water and allow to dry per instructions below.
4. Apply a few drops of machine oil. Squeeze it with a dry cloth to remove excess oil.
Recommended oil: SAE 15W-40
5. Re-install air filter making sure it is seated correctly.
CAUTION
The air filter element must be intact or the engine will suck in dust and dirt,
resulting in a shorter service life of the engine.
Water should be prevented from entering into the filter when washing the vehicle.
The filter element shall be cleaned gently without twisting to prevent it from
cracking. Never wash it with gasoline or any acid, alkaline or organic volatile
oil to avoid its aging, which will result in reducing the effect of the air filter oil to
catch particles before they enter the engine. Replace the filter element with a
new one if it is broken or cracked.
