Air Filter Inspection And Cleaning - Baja motorsports BLASTER 65 Owner's Manual

AIR FILTER
Operating the engine without the air filter element in place could be hazardous.
If the air filter element did not filter dirt, severe engine damage would occur if the dirt entered
the running engine.
Never run the engine without the air filter element in place.
Failing to inspect the air filter element frequently if the vehicle is used in dusty, wet, or
muddy conditions could damage your Go-kart.
The air filter element could become clogged under these conditions, and engine damage
may result.
Always check the air filter element after riding in severe conditions. Clean or replace the
elements as necessary. If water gets in the air filter case, immediately clean the element and
the inside of the case.
A torn air filter could damage your Go-kart.
Dirt and dust may get inside of the engine if the element is torn.
Examine carefully the element for tears before and after cleaning it. Replace the element
with a new one if it is torn.
Failing to position the air cleaner element properly could damage your Go-kart.
Air will bypass the air cleaner element if the element is not positioned properly. This will
cause the engine parts to wear more rapidly.
Be sure to position the air cleaner element properly.
