AIR FILTER

General Information

The air filter should be checked every year or 100 hours. More frequent service may be required in extremely
dirty operating environments. Need for immediate servicing will be indicated by a loss of power, sluggish
acceleration, or an engine which runs roughly with excessive black exhaust smoke.
Air Filter Replacement
1. Lift two latches (3) on the side of the air box (Figure 14-10, Page 14-14).
2. Remove the hose clamp (15) from the air hose and remove hose from the air box assembly.
3. Standing on driver side of vehicle, grasp air hose mounting inlet and open box fully. Remove filter ele-
ment (12).
4. Using a clean cloth, wipe away any dust or dirt from inside the air box. Remove all dirt build-up around
the inside lip of the box or the box will not seal properly.
5. Install new air filter by inserting back edge first, and pushing down using the palm of your hand to seat
filter evenly onto inside lip of air box. Ensure filter fits correctly and that the wire latches are not caught
between lid and air box. Close the lid.
6. Fasten wire latches (3). Make sure latches securely engage the bottom half of the box. See following
CAUTION.

CAUTION
• Engine damage will occur if the air box cover is not properly secured.
• If air box is extremely dirty, remove air box from vehicle and clean thoroughly.
• Use only Club Car replacement air filters (CCI P/N 1015426). The use of other air filters could
result in engine damage. If the air filter is too thin, the cover will seat before the filter can seal,
leaving space for dirt to pass into the engine on all sides of the element. This will damage the
engine and void the warranty.
7. Install hose (16) and hose clamp (15) (Figure 14-10, Page 14-14). If equipped with screw clamp, tighten
to 17 in-lb (1.9 N·m). Make sure clamp ends are located in the 12:00 o'clock position.

FUEL FILTERS

See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuel is supplied to the fuel pump and carburetor through flexible lines. Two in-line filters are installed between
the fuel tank and the carburetor (Figure 14-11, Page 14-18). Fuel filters, fuel lines, and the fuel tank vent
should be inspected periodically for leaks.
The fuel filters should be replaced when necessary, but under no circumstance should the period of time
between filter changes exceed two years or 200 hours.
