REAR GEAR CASE LUBRICATION
To check/add rear gear case lubricant:

Place vehicle on level ground.
 Remove gear case fill cap.
 Inspect lubricant level. Lubricant level should be up to the
brim of the hole. If lubricant is low, add specified lubricant
(SAE 80 API G-4 Hypoid gear lubricant) until level reaches
the brim.
 Replace cap and torque to 17 ft.lb. (23 Nm).
To change gear lubricant:

Place vehicle on level ground.
 Remove gear case cover.
 Place container under gear case.
 Remove fill cap.
 Remove oil plug.
 Let lubricant drain out completely.
 Reinstall the drain plug and tighten to 18 ft.lb. (24 Nm).
 Add lubricant as described previously.
WARNING:
Check for leaks in the gear case and keep lubricant up to
the prescribed level. Failing to have the proper amount of
gear lubricant in the rear case will cause excessive wear
on the gears and could cause the gears to seize, resulting
in serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
Tire Air Pressure
Check the air pressure in all tires before riding. Improper air
pressure will affect handling, steering response, traction, tire
life and rider comfort. Be sure tires are inflated to the pres-
sures shown below.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be measured or
adjusted when tires are cold.
Recommended Pressure
Front
3.7 psi ± 1.2 psi
(25.5 kPa ± 8.3 kPa)
Rear
4.1 psi ± 0.9 psi
(28.3 kPa ± 6.2 kPa)
WARNING:
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much
air in the tire could cause the tire to burst, causing serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Maintaining correct air pressure in the tires is very impor-
tant. Too little pressure could allow the tire to rotate off
the wheel rim. Too much pressure could cause the tire to
burst. Failure to maintain correct air pressure in the tires
could cause problems with vehicle operation and stability,
causing serious personal injury.
TIRE REPAIR
If a leak or flat tire occurs due to a puncture, the tire may
be repaired using a plug-type patch. If the damage is from a
cut, or if the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug, the
tire should be replaced.
When operating your ATV in areas where transportation or
service facilities are not readily available, keep a plug-type
repair kit and tire air pump with you.
REPLACING TIRES
When tires are worn, the traction of the vehicle will be
decreased, which increases the chance of having an acci-
dent. Tires should be replaced when the depth on the tread
is 0.16 in. (4 mm) or less. Always use identical replacement
tires. Using improper tires on the unit could cause loss of
control, which could increase your risk of accident.
On tubeless tires, air is sealed by the contact surfaces of the
inner wheel rim and the tire bead. If the inner wheel rim or
tire bead is damaged, air may leak. Be extremely careful not
to damage these sections when replacing tires.
When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel, be ex-
tremely careful not to damage the inner wheel rim surface of
the tire bead. If you have any doubts as to your ability, have
this work done by an authorized service center or a qualified
tire repair station.
