fuel is used. The vent tube must be attached
to the cap and inserted in the vent tube holder
hole of the handle bar cover while operating
the unit. The fuel cap vent and vent tube must
be clean and clear of obstructions for the unit
to operate normally. You can check the vent
and vent tube by blowing air through the tube.
If you can not blow through the vent tube and
cap you must clean the vent and tube or
replace them.
Every time you refuel your unit, check the
rubber seal inside the cap for cuts, tears and
dirt. Clean or replace the seal if it becomes
worn or torn. The seal must be in good
condition to insure a proper seal of the cap to
the tank to prevent fuel spills. DO NOT allow
dirt or other debris to enter the tank when
refueling.
Replace the cap if damaged or if it will not
seal to the tank.
Tighten the cap snugly, being careful not to
over tighten. Over tightening the cap can
cause damage to the cap or seal.
The fuel tank capacity is 4.5 liters, 1.2 gal,
including a reserve of 0.8 liters, 0.2 gal.
Use unleaded automobile gasoline with an
octane level of 91 or higher.
NEVER REFUEL YOUR ATV when the
engine is HOT.
Wait 30 minutes after
turning off the unit before refueling. Spilling
fuel on a HOT engine could cause a fire.
Wipe up any fuel spills before re-starting.
Fuel Valve
The unit is equipped with a three way fuel valve
located on the left side of the unit just below the
seat.
The valve has three settings; “OFF”, “ON” and
“RES”. With the valve in the “OFF” position fuel
is held in the tank and is prevented from flowing
to the carburetor. The valve should be placed in
the “OFF” position whenever the unit is not being
operated. Place the valve in the “ON” position for
normal operation of the unit. This allows fuel to
flow to the carburetor for normal operating. The
“RES” position allows fuel to flow from the small
reserve in the tank to allow the unit to be taken
to a refueling location.
When you have to switch to the “RES” position
you must refuel the unit as soon as possible.
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR Fuel level before you
start riding your ATV
. Remember: You can
drive further in one hour on your ATV than you
can walk in one day.
Inline Fuel Filter
Your ATV is equipped with an inline fuel filter to
prevent dirt and debris from entering the
carburetor and engine.
Check the filter for dirt or damage before each
ride and at each refueling. Replace the filter if
dirty or damaged.
The filter should be replaced every 600 hours of
operation and at the start of each season.
