must be cleaned at more frequent intervals than specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. If the ATV is submerged in water, the
air cleaner should be checked and water should be drained
from the air cleaner housing before starting the engine. To
clean the air cleaner:
1. Remove the seat.
2. Unlatch the six retainer clips (1) and remove the air cleaner
housing cover (2).
3. Loosen the fixed ring, and then remove the air cleaner
element (3).
