Shock Absorbers
Each shock absorber should be visibly
checked weekly for excessive fluid leak-
age (some seal leakage may be observed
but it does not indicate the shock is in
need of replacement), cracks or breaks in
the lower case, or a bent shock rod. If any
one of these conditions is detected,
replacement is necessary.
NOTE: When the ATV is operated
in extremely cold weather
(-23°C/-10°F or colder), a small
amount of leakage may be present.
Unless the leakage is excessive,
replacement is not necessary.
Ramp-style adjusters are used to
adjust shock preload. Rotate the
adjuster toward the right to decrease
preload or the left to increase preload.
General Lubrication
Cables
None of the cables require lubrication; however, it is advisable to lubri-
cate the ends of the cables periodically with a good cable lubricant.
Engine Oil
Change the engine oil at the scheduled
intervals. The engine should always be
warm so the oil will drain easily and
completely.
1. Park the ATV on level ground.
2. Remove the oil level stick. Be
careful not to allow contaminates
to enter the opening.
3. Remove the oil drain plug from
the left side of the engine; then
remove the oil screen/filter cap
from under the right-front of the
engine and clean the screen.
4. Install the screen/filter cap,
spring, and screen. Tighten to 11
ft-lb.
5. Install the drain plug and tighten
to 22 ft-lb. Pour ACX All
Weather Synthetic oil in the fill
hole. Install oil level stick.
6. Start the engine (while the ATV is
outside on level ground) and
allow it to idle for a few minutes.
