Tighten the cap snugly, being careful not to
over tighten. Over tightening the cap can
cause damage to the cap or seal.
The fuel tank capacity is 12 liters, 3.17 gal,
including a reserve of 2.5 liters, 0.66 gal.
Use unleaded automobile gasoline with an
octane level of 89 or higher.
NEVER REFUEL YOUR ATV when the
engine is HOT.
Wait 30 minutes after
turning off the unit before refueling. Spilling
fuel on a HOT engine could cause a fire.
Wipe up any fuel spills before re-starting.
Fuel Valve
The unit is equipped with a three way fuel
valve located on the left side of the unit just
below the seat.
The valve has three settings; “PRI”, “ON” and
“RES”. With the valve in the “ON” or “RES”
position fuel flow is controlled by a vacuum
vale in the petcock. Fuel will begin flowing to
the carburetor as soon as the engine is turned
over. “ON” is the normal operation position of
the fuel valve. When you have to switch to the
“RES” position you must refuel the unit as
soon as possible to prevent running out of
fuel.
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR Fuel level before you
start riding your ATV
.
Remember: You can drive further in one hour on
your ATV than you can walk in one day.
The “PRI” position of the valve allows fuel to flow
freely from the tank bypassing the vacuum valve.
The “PRI” setting is primarily use when draining
the fuel from the tank for long storage periods or
during vehicle maintenance. It can also be used
in an emergency if the vacuum valve fails to
operate correctly allowing the unit to be taken to
a place where the fuel valve can be serviced.
DO NOT operate the vehicle with the valve in the
“PRI” position for long periods of time.
Inline Fuel Filter
Your ATV is equipped with an inline fuel filter to
prevent dirt and debris from entering the
carburetor and engine.
Check the filter for dirt or damage before each
ride and at each refueling. Replace the filter if
dirty or damaged.
The filter should be replaced every 600 hours of
operation and at the start of each season.
To replace the filter, first turn the fuel valve to the
“ON” or “RES” position. Then carefully unscrew
the filter bowl from the bottom of the fuel vale by
