the air box and the sediment tube.
Inspect All Fluid Levels
——Inspect the following fluid levels and change if
necessary: transmission; brake fluid (change every two years or as required if fluid

Battery Maintenance
——Remove the battery and add electrolyte as required to the
proper level. Do not use tap water which may contain minerals that reduce battery life.
Apply Dielectric grease to the terminal bolts and terminals. Charge the battery.
Storage Area/Covers
——Set tire pressures and safely support the UTV with the
tires 1-2”(25-50mm) off the ground. Be sure the storage area is well ventilated. Cover
the machine with a UTV cover.
NOTE:
Do not use plastic or coated materials. They do not allow enough ventilation
to prevent condensation, and may promote corrosion and oxidation.

1. Turn off the engine and remove the key.
2. Be certain the fuel cap, oil cap, and seat are installed correctly.
