Drive-Train Maintenance
The drive belt is an essential part of the drive mechanism and it is recommended that a spare belt be carried at all times.
Frequent inspection of the belt is recommended and if the belt is severely worn replace the belt.
Torque Converter
The torque converter does not require any maintenance other than periodic lubrication of the shafts upon which the
movable sheaves slide. Use a small amount of graphite-base, low-temperature lubricant. Excessive lubrication of the
torque converter could cause belt slippage from "thrown off' lubricant.
Drive Chain Tension
The normal amount of free play in the drive chains is one-half inch up or down from the center line measured at the center
point between the sprockets. To adjust: Pull idler up and tighten bolt. Check chain tension for the
“YZ" up and down free
play.
Battery
The battery is a 12-volt, dry-charge unit with spill proof vents for Avenger all-terrain vehicles. It has a 32 ampere-hour
rating. All lead acid batteries have an inherent self-discharge characteristic when not in use. Recharge every 45 days or
when specific gravity drops below 1.230. Before charging, remove battery caps, cover plates with distilled water, but not
over ¼" above. Charge rate should not be more that 5-10 amperes. Discontinue charging when specific gravity reaches
1.270.
Store battery as follows:
1. Remove battery and remove all grease, sulfate and dirt from top surface by sprinkling with baking soda and flushing
with water.
