MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Filter Systems
Air Box Drain
Periodically check the air box drain tube located on the bottom rear of
the air box and empty if necessary.
Breather Filter and Hoses:
Operation of your vehicle without a breather filter can cause engine damage.
1. Remove the clamps and pull the
filter out of the hoses. NOTE:
It will not be necessary to
remove the lower hose from the
engine.
2. Inspect filter for debris. Blow
through gently in direction of
arrow on filter to check for
clogging. Replace as needed.
3. Check hoses for cracks,
deterioration, abrasion, or leaks.
Replace as needed.
4. Reinstall filter and clamps with
arrow pointing toward engine. NOTE: The breather filter is
intended to be used with airbox pre-filter in place. Without the
pre-filter, the breather filter can clog quickly. Never operate your
vehicle without the pre-filter. NOTE: Inspect the filter monthly
or every 20 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Replace
filter as needed.
