Brakelight/Taillight

cover.
2. Remove the bulb by pushing it in and turning it
counterclockwise.
3. Install the new bulb by pushing it in and turning

Switches
Each time the ATV is used, switches should be
checked for proper operation. Use the following list
for reference.
A. Ignition switch — engine will start (with
brake lever compressed).
B. Emergency stop switch — engine will stop.
C. Brakelight switch — brakelight will illumi-
nate with brake lever(s) compressed.
Frame/Welds
The frame and welds should be checked periodically
for damage, bends, cracks, deterioration, broken
components, and missing components. If replace-
ment or repair constitutes removal, see Section 8.
Electrical Connections
The electrical connections should be checked peri-
odically for proper function. In case of an electrical
failure, check fuse, connections (for tightness, cor-
rosion, damage), and/or bulb. If an electrical compo-
nent needs to be tested for proper function, see
Section 5.
Brake Systems
Although the brake systems have been adjusted at
the factory, the brakes should be checked for proper
operation. The brakes must be maintained to be
fully functional.
CHECKING FRONT WHEEL BRAKE
1. With the engine off, compress the right-hand
(front) brake lever and attempt to move the ATV.
2. If the front wheels are locked, it is adjusted
properly.
3. If the front wheels are not locked or if only one
wheel locks, adjustment is necessary.
CHECKING REAR WHEEL BRAKE
1. With the engine off, compress the left-hand
(rear) brake lever and attempt to move the ATV.
2. If the rear wheels are locked, it is serviceable.
3. If the rear wheels are not locked, bleed the brake
system or replace the pads as necessary.
ADJUSTING FRONT WHEEL BRAKE
1. Raise the ATV enough to allow the front wheels
to spin freely.
2. Loosen both jam nuts on the right-hand (front)
brake lever. Turn both cable adjusters counter-
clockwise until both front wheels do not spin
freely.
! CAUTION
Tighten the lens cover screws only until they are
snug.
! WARNING
After servicing components that are brake-related,
ALWAYS check and adjust brakes as necessary
before operating the ATV.
