Tires
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on an ATV is
very dangerous. A tire is considered to be
worn out when the depth of the tread is
less than 4 mm (5/32 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this min-
imum specification.
ATV-649A
Tire Replacement
The ATV has low-pressure tubeless tires.
Have this maintenance performed by a
qualified tire repair station.
Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a
puncture, the tire may be repaired using a
plug-type repair. If the damage is from a cut
or if the puncture cannot be repaired using a
plug, the tire must be replaced. When oper-
ating the ATV in areas where transportation
or service facilities are not readily available,
it is strongly recommended to carry a plug-
type repair kit and a tire pump along.
CAUTION
A torn air filter can cause damage to the
ATV engine. Dirt and dust may get inside
the engine if the element is torn. Care-
fully examine the element for tears
before and after cleaning it. Replace the
element with a new one if it is torn.
! WARNING
If gasoline is present in the drain tube,
do not operate the vehicle until the
cause of the leak is found and
repaired. This should be done by an
authorized dealer.
! WARNING
Always use the size and type of tires
as specified. Refer to the specifica-
tions chart for proper tire inflation
pressure, and always maintain proper
tire inflation pressure.
! WARNING
The use of worn-out tires can be dan-
gerous and can increase the risk of an
accident.
! WARNING
Use only approved tires when replacing
tires. Failure to do so could result in
unstable ATV operation.
