Cleaning Procedure
Fuel tank cap
Carburetor
Snorkel air intake for air filter and carburetor (The snorkel air intake
opening is located at the highest point on the ATV. Usually in front of the
seat)
Use a garden hose at low pressure to remove the majority of dirt or other
debris. Hand wash your ATV with a mild soap or detergent and water. Try
to thoroughly remove all dirt and debris without excessive water pres-
sure, even at remote areas such as between engine cooling fins, linkages
or mounting brackets. Cloth rags, washing mitts or cleaning brushes can
be used. Be careful with brushes as they may scratch plastic or painted
surfaces, Rinse the ATV thoroughly with clean water. Dry all areas using a
chamois or soft absorbent cloth.
INSPECTION AFTER CLEANING
Remove the rags or wrapping from the exhaust pipe. Check the drain tubes
on the bottom of the air filter box and drain any water than has collected in
them.
Operating ATV with best brakes can be hazardous.
Wet brakes may not provide as much stopping power as dry brakes, This
could lead to an accident.
Test your brakes after washing ATV, while riding at slow speed. If neces-
sary, apply brakes several times to let the friction dry out the linings.
Follow the procedures in the INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING section to
check your ATV for any problems that may have arisen during your last
ride.
