The shock absorber has a spring force
adjustment sleeve with five adjustment
positions to allow the spring to be
adjusted for different riding and loading
conditions. If the spring action is too soft
or too stiff, adjust it according to the
chart.
CD453
NOTE: Before attempting to adjust
suspension, clean dirt and debris
from the sleeve and remove load
from the suspension; then use the
spanner wrench to adjust the sleeve
to the desired position.
General Lubrication
Cables
None of the cables require lubrication;
however, it is advisable to lubricate the
ends of the cables periodically with a
good cable lubricant.
Engine/Transmission Oil
and Filter
Change the engine oil and oil filter at the
scheduled intervals. The engine should
always be warm when the oil is changed
so the oil will drain easily and completely.
1. Park the ATV on level ground.
2. Loosen the oil level stick. Be careful
not to allow contaminates to enter
the opening.
CF298A
3. Remove the drain plug from the bot-
tom of the engine and drain the oil
into a drain pan.
733-441A
4. Using the oil filter wrench and a ratchet
handle (or a socket or box-end wrench),
remove the old oil filter and dispose of
properly. Do not re-use oil filter.
NOTE: Clean up any excess oil
after removing the filter.
5. Apply oil to the new filter O-ring
and check to make sure it is posi-
tioned correctly; then install the new
oil filter. Tighten securely.
6. Install the engine drain plug and
tighten to 20 ft-lb. Remove the oil
filler plug being careful not to let
contaminates enter the opening; then
pour ACX All-Weather Synthetic oil
in the filler hole. Install the level
stick.
7. Start the engine (while the ATV is
outside on level ground) and allow it
to idle for a few minutes.
8. Turn the engine off and wait approx-
imately one minute. Recheck the oil
level.
9. Inspect the area around the drain
plug and oil filter for leaks.
