under normal conditions, service the filter

nance Schedule. If operated in dusty, wet,
or muddy conditions, inspect and service
the filter more frequently. Use the follow-
ing procedure to remove the filter and
inspect and/or clean it.
CAUTION
Failure to inspect the air filter fre-
quently if the ATV is used in dusty,
wet, or muddy conditions can dam-
age the engine.
