GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on your ATV is very dangerous. A tire is
considered to be worn-out when the depth of the tread is less
than 1/8 in (3 mm). Be sure to replace the tires on your ATV
before reaching this minimum specification.
DRAINING THE V-BELT COVER
TIRES
Tire Replacement
Your ATV has low-pressure tubeless tires. Air is sealed by the
contact surfaces of the inner wheel rim and the tire bead. If either
the inner wheel rim or tire bead are damaged, air may leak. Be
extremely careful not to damage these areas when replacing tires.
It is very important to use the proper tools when repairing or re-
placing tires to prevent damage to the tire, the tire bead or wheel
rims. If you do not have access to the proper tools or lack the
technical ability, have your tires serviced by an authorized KYMCO
ATV dealer.
1. Place your ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove the drain bolt from the cover to allow fluid 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 force out
any additional fluid, then stop the engine.
5. Reinstall the drain bolt and tighten securely
NOTE: The V-belt and pulleys should be inspected ev-
ery 500 miles and the belt replaced when necessary.
NOTE: If your ATV has been driven through water, the
V-belt cover must be drained of any fluid.
Always use the size and type of tires specified for your
KYMCO ATV. Refer to the specifications chart in this
manual for tire-related information and always main-
tain proper tire inflation pressure.
V-belt Cover Drain
The use of worn-out tires on your ATV can be dan-
gerous and can increase the risk of an accident.
When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel,
be extremely careful not to damage the inner wheel
surface or the tire bead.
