MAINTENANCE
FILTER SYSTEMS
AIR FILTER
Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart.
1. Lift the cargo box.
2. Clean all dirt and debris from the air box area.
3. Unlatch the two (2) cover clips and carefully remove the air box cover.
Inspect the seal between the cover and air box to ensure the seal is not torn
and has been maintaining a proper seal.
4. Inspect the air filter and air box for dirt, debris, oil or water. If the filter needs
to be replaced, remove the worm gear clamp from the filter neck with a flat-
blade screwdriver or 6mm socket. Slide the filter rearward to remove it from
the boot, then lift it straight upward and out of the air box.
5. With the filter removed, clean the intake boot and air box thoroughly and
wipe well with a clean, dry cloth.
Dirt or debris in the intake boot could result in severe engine damage. Always
clean all dirt and debris from the intake boot before installing the filter.
