Cleaning The Spark Arrester - Yamaha BANSHEE 350 YFZ350Z Owner's Manual

1. Air filter element
11. Insert the air filter element into the air filter
case, and then install the air filter case cover
by hooking the holders onto the air filter case.
NOTICE: Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the air filter
case. Never operate the engine with the air
filter element removed. This will allow un-
filtered air to enter the engine, causing rap-
id engine wear and possible engine
damage. Additionally, operation without
the air filter element will affect carburetor
jetting with subsequent poor performance

and possible engine overheating.
12. Install the seat.
TIP
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20–40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated
more often if the ATV is operated in extremely
dusty areas. Each time the air filter element main-
tenance is performed, check the air inlet of the air
filter case for obstructions. Check the air filter case
rubber joint to the carburetor fittings and the rubber
joint manifold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten
all fittings securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
