MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTOR
 Select a well-ventilated area and make sure the exhaust
pipe is cool.
 Remove the drain bolt.
 Start the engine and block the end of the exhaust pipe
with a wood or plastic dowel. This will increase the speed
of the engine because of back pressure.
 Stop the engine and allow the exhaust pipe to cool.
NOTE: Make sure the exhaust muffler is cool before you
attempt to remove the dowel.
 Reinstall the drain bolt and tighten to secure.
GENERAL LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is important for safe, smooth operation
and long life of your vehicle. Be sure that all lubrication
is performed during periodic maintenance on the vehicle.
Increase number of intervals when you use your ATV in
severe conditions. Your authorized service center should do
the general lubrication as shown in the Maintenance chart.
This includes the lubrication of wheel bearings, swing arm
bearings, steering shaft holder, cables, etc.
Lubricate the following areas with oil or grease as indi-
cated.

Bottom fitting of steering shaft -- lubricate with lithium (Li)
based grease
 Brake cable
 Throttle cable
 Throttle lever
INSPECTING THE REAR BRAKE SHOE
Riding with worn brake shoes or pads will increase your
chance of having an accident. If you need to replace brake
shoes or pads, have this done by an authorized service
center.
To inspect the brakes for wear:

Locate the brake wear indicator on the outside of the brake
drum.
 Check the position of the needle to see if it has reached
the maximum wear limit. If maximum wear limit has been
reached (needle is at the end of the brake wear indicator),
replace brake shoes as a set.
TRANSPORTING
It is best to transfer the ATV in its normal operating posi-
tion.

Drain fuel from carburetor.
● Turn fuel valve to the off position.
● Turn off the engine.
● Place a suitable container beneath the carburetor drain
screw.
● Loosen the screw and allow the fuel from the carburetor
to drain completely.
● Retighten the carburetor drain screw.
 Lock the parking brake lever.
 Securely tie down the ATV at the four wheels with straps,
rope, or some other suitable means. Use extra tie downs
if you transfer the vehicle in the standing position.
