Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a
puncture, the tire may be repaired using a
plug-type repair. If the damage is from a
cut or if the puncture cannot be repaired
using a plug, the tire must be replaced.
When operating the ATV in areas where
transportation or service facilities are not
readily available, it is strongly recom-
mended to carry a plug-type repair kit
and a tire pump along.
Wheels
1. Park the ATV on level ground and
engage the brake lever lock.
2. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel to
be removed.
3. Elevate the ATV.
4. Remove the lug nuts.
5. Remove the wheel.
6. Install the wheel and install the lug
nuts.
7. Tighten the nuts in a crisscross pat-
tern to 32 ft-lb.
8. Remove the jack.
Muffler/Spark Arrester
The muffler has a spark arrester which
must be periodically cleaned. At the
intervals shown in the Maintenance
Schedule, clean the spark arrester using
the following procedure.
1. Remove the cap screw (1) securing
spark arrester; then remove the
arrester (2).

2. Using a brush, clean the carbon
deposits from the arrester screen (3)
taking care not to damage the
screen.

NOTE: If the screen is damaged in
any way, it must be replaced.
3. Install the spark arrester and secure
with the cap screw.
Light Bulb Replacement
The wattage rating of each bulb is shown
in the chart. When replacing a burned
bulb, always use the same wattage rating.
NOTE: The bulb portion of the
headlight is fragile. HANDLE WITH
CARE. When replacing the head-
light bulb, do not touch the glass
portion of the bulb. If the glass is
touched, it must be cleaned with a
dry cloth before installing. Skin oil
residue on the bulb will shorten the
life of the bulb.
! WARNING
Failure to tighten the wheel nuts to
the specified torque value can be
hazardous. If the wheel nuts are not
properly tightened, the wheel can
come off causing an accident and
possible injury.
! WARNING
Wait until the muffler cools to avoid
burns.
