Fuel Valve
This ATV has a valve mounted on the side of the
frame separate from the gas tank. There are three
positions: ON, RES, and OFF.
KM043A
In the OFF position, the valve will not allow gaso-
line to flow to the carburetor. In the ON position
(the normal operating position), gasoline will flow
from the tank to the carburetor. In this position, 1.3
L (0.34 U.S. gal.) of gasoline will remain in the tank
as a reserve quantity. Moving the valve to the 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.
REMOVING/INSPECTING
1. Remove the cap screw securing the valve to the
frame; then pull the valve out far enough to gain
access to the three gas hoses (two to the gas
tank, one to the carburetor).
2. Remove the gas hoses from the valve by releas-
ing the spring clamps.
3. Inspect for and remove any obstructions in the
valve.
INSTALLING
1. Install the gas hoses onto the valve with the
spring clamps.
2. Place the valve into position on the frame and
secure with the cap screw. Tighten to specifica-
tions (see Section 10).
Gas/Vent Hoses
Replace the gas hoses every two years. Damage
from aging may not always be visible. Do not bend
or obstruct the routing of the carburetor vent hose.
Make certain that the vent hose is securely con-
nected to the carburetor and the opposite end is
always open.
