In the ON position (the normal operating position), gasoline will fl ow
from the tank to the carburetor. In this position, 2.5 L (0.5 U.S. gal.)
will remain in the tank as a reserve quantity.
Moving the valve to the reserve (RES) position will allow the operator
to use the remaining gasoline in the tank. When turning the valve to
any of the three positions, be sure the indicator is pointed directly at
the position desired.
GAS/VENT HOSES
Replace the gas hose every two years. Damage from aging may not
always be visible. Do not bend or obstruct the routing of the carbure-
tor vent hose. Make certain that the vent hose is securely connected
to the carburetor and hose holder and the opposite end is always
open.
CARBURETOR FLOAT BOWL DRAIN
Periodically, the fl oat bowl should be drained to remove condensati-
on. To drain the fl oat bowl, use the following procedure.
1. Place a suitable container
beneath the drain hose.
2. Loosen the drain screw and
allow the gasoline and conden-
sation to fl ow into the container.
3. Tighten the drain screw
securely.

Leaving the fuel valve in the ON or RES position when the engine
is off can be hazardous. The carburetor may overfl ow and fuel may
run into the engine. This can cause a fi re or cause severe damage
to the ATV when the engine is started. Always leave the fuel valve
in the OFF position when the engine is not running.
! WARNING
Draining fuel from the carburetor can be hazardous. Fuel can catch
on fi re if not handled properly. When draining the carburetor, always
shut the engine off. Do not smoke and never drain or refuel in an
area where there are open fl ames or sparks. Dispose of drained
fuel properly.
