Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
AIR CLEANER INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT
To reduce the possibility of engine
damage, be sure that bottom tabs of
cover are installed in enclosure and top of cover is installed
under top tabs. Secure all spring clips.
The air cleaner unit on the vehicle is a dry unit.
Do not use oil on the filter element or any part
of the unit. To aide installation and sealing, petroleum jelly may
be applied to back side of cover tabs and each side of filter
seal.
The air cleaner is attached to the engine and may be
accessed by raising the seat. Inspect and replace air fil-
ter in accordance with the Periodic Service Schedule
(Ref. Fig. 14 on page 12). The air cleaner element is
accessible by unsnapping top clips from the air box and
swinging the cover open. Remove cover and air filter ele-
ment (Ref. Fig. 31 on page 20). Clean inside of cover and
enclosure. Install the new element in the same way the
old filter was removed, being sure that the filter seal is
correctly installed. Insert cover into the lower portion of
the enclosure and swing it up into place. Squeeze hous-
ing together and secure with top clips. Be sure cover fits
under tabs and all clips are fastened securely.
Cleaning the Air Filter Element
Do not use compressed air to clean the
air filter; doing so will damage the filter
which may result in damage to the engine.
If the element is in acceptable condition, loose dirt may
be removed by tapping the filter lightly. Do not use oil on
the filter element or any part of the unit.
LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3) pumps
of grease in any grease fitting at any
one time. Excess grease may cause grease seals to fail or
grease migration into areas that could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fit-
ting could damage grease seals and cause premature
bearing failure (Ref. Fig. 32 on page 21).
