Preparation after Storage
Taking the ATV out of storage and cor-
rectly preparing it will ensure many
hours of trouble-free riding. The manu-
facturer recommends the following pro-
cedure to prepare the ATV:
1. Clean the ATV thoroughly.
2. Remove the steel wool from the
exhaust system.
3. Check all control wires and cables for
signs of wear or fraying. Replace if
necessary.
4. Change the engine/transmission oil
and filter.
5. Check the coolant level and add prop-
erly mixed coolant as necessary.
6. Charge the battery; then install. Con-
nect the battery cables, making sure
to connect the positive cable first.
7. Check the entire brake systems (fluid
level, pads, etc.), all controls, head-
lights, taillight, brake light, and head-
light aim. Adjust or replace if
necessary.
8. Check the tire pressure. Inflate to rec-
ommended pressure as necessary.
9. Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws,
and screws making sure all calibrated
nuts, cap screws, and bolts are tight-
ened to specifications.
10. Make sure the steering moves freely
and does not bind.
11. Check the spark plug. Clean or
replace as necessary.
12. Check the air filter and the air filter
housing. Clean or replace as neces-
sary.
CAUTION
Before installing the battery, make
sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
