This manual is divided into sections. Each section covers a specific ATV component or system and, in addition to

the standard service procedures, includes disassembling, inspecting, and assembling instructions. When using this

manual as a guide, the technician should use discretion as to how much disassembly is needed to correct any given

condition. A troubleshooting section is also included in this manual.

The service technician should become familiar with the operation and construction of each component or system

by carefully studying this manual. This manual will assist the service technician in becoming more aware of and

efficient with servicing procedures. Such efficiency not only helps build consumer confidence but also saves time

and labor.
