NOTE: If the ATV has been driven
through water, the V-belt cover must
be drained of any water.
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain bolt from the cover
and allow water to drain out.
3. Shift the range lever to the neutral position; then start the engine.
4. Increase and decrease engine RPM several times to “blow out” any
water; then stop the engine.

NOTE: The V-belt and pulleys should be inspected every
500 miles and the belt replaced (if necessary).
Tires
CAUTION
A torn air filter can cause damage to the ATV engine. Dirt and
dust may get inside the engine if the element is torn. Care-
