TIRES AND WHEELS
Correct tire pressure is crucial. Consult the General Maintenance
section of this Operator’s Manual for tire pressure guidelines.
Incorrect tire pressure can cause poor handling, instability, and a
loss of ATV control.
While checking the tire pressure, inspect the tread and sidewalls of
the tires for cracks, cuts, or other damage that could indicate they
need to be replaced.
CONTROLS AND CABLE
With the engine running and
brake applied, check all transmission positions: forward, neutral, and
reverse.
A. Brakes
Depress the brake pedal. If either it feels soft or “squishy,” it could
be low on fl uid or have a leak — refer to the General Maintenance
section of this Operator’s
Manual for instructions. Don’t
use the ATV until the brakes are
operating normally.
Test the brake lever lock and see if it
locks the wheels; then disengage it to release the brake.
