Air Filter Service

Magnum 2 x 4, Magnum 4 x 4
It is recommended that the air filter
be inspected weekly and replaced if
dirty. When riding in extremely
dusty conditions replacement will
be required more often.
1. Lift up on the rear of the seat.
2. Pull the seat back and free of the
tabs. NOTE: When reinstalling
seat, make sure the slots in the
seat engage the tabs in the fuel
tank.
3. Remove the two wing nuts and
washers securing the air filter
access cover.
4. Remove the cover. Inspect the
gasket. It should adhere tightly
to the cover and seal all the way
around.
5. Remove the wing nut and wash-
er securing the second cover.
The cover should be straight
and not distorted.
6. Remove the air filter. Do not at-
tempt to clean the main ele-
ment.
7. Install new air filter. NOTE: Ap-
ply a small amount of general
purpose grease to the sealing
edges of the filter before instal-
ling.
8. Check air box drain tube. If oil or
water deposits are found, drain
them into a suitable container.
NOTE: Service more frequently
if vehicle is operated in wet
conditions or at high throttle
openings for extended periods.
