Air Filter

Always change the air filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 59. Service the air filter more fre-
quently if the vehicle is operated in wet conditions or at high throttle
openings for extended periods.
1. Lift the cargo box to
access the air box.
2. Remove the air box
cover and inspect the
gasket. It should
adhere tightly to the
cover and seal all the
way around.
Tip: Grasp the filter end to pre-
vent damage to the filter
paper.
3. Remove the air filter.
4. Do not attempt to clean
the main element.
Install a new air filter.
Tip: Apply a small amount of general purpose grease to the sealing edges of the
filter before installing.
5. Inspect the air box for oil or water deposits. If present, drain them
into a suitable container.
