DRAINING V-BELT
COVER
CF110A

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 the 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.
5. Install the drain bolt and tighten
securely.

NOTE: The V-belt and pulleys
should be inspected every 500
miles and the belt replaced (if nec-
essary).
TIRES
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on an ATV is
very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this
minimum specification.
0732-649
Tire Replacement
The ATV has low-pressure tubeless
tires. Air is sealed by the contact sur-
faces of the inner wheel rim and the tire
bead. If either the inner wheel rim or
tire bead is damaged, air may leak. Be
extremely careful not to damage these
areas when replacing tires.
CAUTION
The drain on the right side of the
housing is on the “clean air” side
of the air filter. Any leak in this
drain will allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine. Severe engine
damage could occur.
! WARNING
Always use the size and type of
tires as specified. Refer to the ATV
Specifications chart for proper tire
inflation pressure, and always
maintain proper tire inflation pres-
sure.
! WARNING
The use of worn-out tires can be
dangerous and can increase the
risk of an accident.
