Engine Oil
2 Cycle Engine
Your ATV uses 2 cycle oil to lubricate the
engine. The oil is mix with the fuel prior to
refueling the unit. Use a synthetic 2 cycle oil
and mix at a 50:1 ratio with the fuel.
(About 2.5oz to a gallon)
Never run the engine with straight fuel as
sever engine damage will occur requiring
the engine to have to be rebuilt or
replaced.
Tires and Wheels
Tire & Wheel inspection
It is important to inspect your tires and wheels
for damage and wear before each riding
session. Inspect each tire for cuts, tears and
punctures. Inspect the wheel rim for dents
and separation of the wheel from the tire bead.
Replace any tire or wheel found to be
damaged.
Operating your ATV with damaged tires or
wheels is dangerous. Damaged tires or
wheels can result in a sudden loss of tire
pressure and control which could result in
injuries.
Check your tire pressure before each riding
session and at each refueling operation. Always
check the pressure when the tires are cool. Use
the tire pressure gauge that came with your ATV
to check the tire pressure.
Tire Pressure
Recommended tire pressure is:
7psi Maximum (Hot after riding)
2psi Minimum (Cold before riding)
Wheel Nut torque 24-30 N/m (18-22 lb/ft)
Spark Plug
Replace spark plug at the beginning of each
season with a replacement plug
NGK BPM6Y/NGK
Disconnect spark plug wire.
Clean dirt from around spark plug base with
brush or air.
Remove spark plug with spark plug wrench.
Set the spark plug gap on the new plug to 0.023”
Install the new by plug screwing it in finger tight
and then use the plug wrench to screw the plug
in another ½ turn.
Inspect the spark plug wire for cuts, nicks or
other damage. Replace as needed.
Air Filter
Air Filter Maintenance
To maintain the highest performance from your
engine and to reduce excessive wear that could
cause engine failure, the engine requires a
continuous flow of clean air. Air is taken into the
engine through an air filter to clean the air prior to
mixing it with fuel and oil in the carburetor.
During normal operation the filter accumulates
dirt from the air and will need to be cleaned to
maintain the proper air flow. The filter should be
cleaned every 30 days, more often if you ride in
a dusty or dirty environment and the element
should be replaced every year.
The air filter box is located on the left side of the
engine. To access the air filter you must remove
