MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Owner’s Manual
HARDWARE
Normally, three classes of standard hardware and three classes of metric hardware are used in the vehicle. Grade 5
hardware is identified by the three marks on the hexagonal head; grade 8 hardware is identified by six marks on the
head; grade 2 hardware is not marked. The class specification is marked on metric hardware.
Inspect the vehicle for loose fasteners periodically. The fasteners must be tightened carefully and according to the
Torque Specifications table or as specified in the Repair and Service Manual.
AIR INTAKE AND COOLING FINS
Engine parts should be kept clean to reduce the
risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated
debris. After every off road use, allow engine to
cool and then check for a build up of dirt and
debris in the air intake and cooling fins. Dirt and
debris may clog the engine’s air cooling system.
Keep linkages, springs and controls clean. Keep
area around muffler free of any combustible mate-
rial.
At least once a year, (or more often under adverse conditions)
the cooling system should be cleaned. Cleaning will assure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins. Compressed air
may be used for routine cooling system maintenance.
Operation in wet or damp weather or over freshly cut grass may result in debris accumulating and adhering to the internal
shroud and fins of the cooling system.

Unless otherwise noted in text, tighten all hardware in accordance with this chart.
This chart specifies 'lubricated' torque figures. Fasteners that are plated or lubricated when
installed are considered 'wet' and require approximately 80% of the torque required for 'dry' fasteners.
