Checking/Filling
When filling the cooling system, use a
coolant/water mixture which will satisfy
the coldest anticipated weather condi-
tions of the area in accordance with the
coolant manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. While the cooling system is being
filled, air pockets may develop; there-
fore, run the engine for five minutes after
the initial fill, shut the engine off, and
then fill the cooling system to the bottom
of the stand pipe in the radiator neck.
1. Locate the coolant reservoir on the
right side behind the radiator.
KC338B
2. Remove the cap and fill with the
appropriate coolant until coolant
level is between the LOW and
FULL lines. Do not overfill.
3. Install the cap on the reservoir.
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.
The shock absorber has a spring force
adjustment sleeve with five adjustment
positions to allow the spring to be
adjusted for different riding and loading
conditions. If the spring action is too soft
or too stiff, adjust it according to the chart.
KC0102
NOTE: Before attempting to
adjust suspension, clean dirt and
debris from the sleeve and remove
load from the suspension; then use
the spanner wrench to adjust the
sleeve to the desired position.
General Lubrication
Cables
None of the cables require lubrication;
however, it is advisable to lubricate the
ends of the cables periodically with a
good cable lubricant.
Engine/Transmission Oil and
Filter
NOTE: Refer to the recommended
oil viscosity chart (on page 45) in
this manual for the proper engine
oil.
Change the engine oil and oil filter at the
scheduled intervals. The engine should
always be warm when the oil is changed
so the oil will drain easily and com-
pletely.
1. Park the ATV on level ground.
2. Remove the oil level stick. Be care-
ful not to allow contaminates to
enter the opening.
