Brake Adjustment
The brakes are the next thing that should be checked and adjusted before letting a child ride the
ATV; and an adult should check the brakes before each use. Start by pushing the unit and
depressing the brake peddle and make sure that the brakes will stop the ATV with little effort, if
not turn the adjusting nut clockwise (see picture below) to put more stopping power but, roll the
ATV to make sure the brake is not dragging or lift the rear of the ATV and roll the rear tires. If
the brake is dragging it could cause premature failure of the brakes, so turn the adjusting nut
counter clockwise to put less pressure. There should be an inspection plug on the flat side of the
drum (see picture). Once the plug is removed you can inspect the lining on the brake shoe, and
check for any foreign material.
Clutch Adjustment
With the centrifugal clutch it will need to be adjusted as it wears. There is an external
adjustment screw that will either put more or less tension on the clutch disk. By holding the stud
with a screw driver and
loosening the jamb nut.
Slowly turn the stud
counter clockwise until
there is resistance is
felt. Then turn the stud
1/8 turn clockwise.
Tighten the locknut to
11ft.lb. torque.
NOTE:
Turning the adjusting
stud clockwise will
increase the free play
(more slipage), and
counter clockwise will
decrease the clutch free
play (less slippage).
