The recommended transaxle/front differential (actuator
on foot brake side) lubricant is Synthetic Transaxle Fluid
with EP. This lubricant meets all the lubrication require-
ments of the transaxle/front differential (actuator on foot
brake side).
Preparation for Storage
The manufacturer recommends the following procedure
to prepare the ATV for storage:
1. Clean the ATV thoroughly by washing dirt, oil,
grass, and other foreign matter from the entire ATV.
Allow the ATV to dry thoroughly. DO NOT get
water into any part of the engine or air intake.
2. Either drain the gas tank or add a fuel stabilizer to the
gas in the gas tank.
3. Clean the interior of the air filter housing.
4. Plug the hole in the exhaust system with steel wool.
5. Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws, and screws. Make
sure rivets holding components together are tight.
Replace all loose rivets. Care must be taken that all
calibrated nuts, cap screws, and bolts are tightened to
specifications.
6. Fill the cooling system to the bottom of the stand
pipe in the radiator neck with properly mixed cool-
ant.
7. Disconnect the battery cables (negative cable first);
then remove the battery, clean the battery posts and
cables, and store in a clean, dry area.
NOTE: For storage, use a battery maintainer or
make sure the battery is fully charged (see Battery
section in this manual).
8. Store the ATV indoors in a level position.
Preparation after Storage
Taking the ATV out of storage and correctly preparing it
will ensure many hours of trouble-free riding. The manu-
facturer recommends the following procedure 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 properly mixed
coolant as necessary.
6. Charge the battery; then install. Connect the battery
cables making sure to connect the positive cable
first.
7. Check the entire brake systems (fluid level, pads,
etc.), all controls, headlights, taillight, brake light,
and headlight aim; adjust or replace if necessary.
8. Check the tire pressure. Inflate to recommended
pressure as necessary.
9. Tighten all nuts, bolts, cap screws, and screws mak-
ing sure all calibrated nuts, cap screws, and bolts are
tightened 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 necessary.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubri-
cant could cause serious transaxle/front differential
(actuator on foot brake side) damage.
CAUTION
Prior to storing the ATV, it must be properly serviced to
prevent rusting and component deterioration.
CAUTION
Avoid storing outside in direct sunlight and avoid using
a plastic cover as moisture will collect on the ATV caus-
ing rusting.
CAUTION
Before installing the battery, make sure the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
