Checking/Filling When filling the cooling system, use a coolant/water mixture which will satisfy the coldest anticipated weather condi- tions of the area in accordance with the coolant manufacturer’s recommenda- tions. While the cooling system is being filled, air pockets may develop; there- fore, run the engine for five minutes after the initial fill, shut the engine off, and then fill the cooling system to the bottom of the stand pipe in the radiator neck.

Before attempting to adjust suspension, clean dirt and Each shock absorber should be visibly checked weekly for excessive fluid leak- age (some seal leakage may be observed but it does not indicate the shock is in need of replacement), cracks or breaks in the lower case, or a bent shock rod. If any one of these conditions is detected, replacement is necessary. NOTE: When the ATV is operated in extremely cold weather (-23°C/- 10°F or colder), a small amount of leakage may be present. Unless the leakage is excessive, replacement is not necessary. ends of the cables periodically with a good cable lubricant. Engine/Transmission Oil and Filter NOTE:
Refer to the recommended oil viscosity chart (on page 45) in this manual for the proper engine oil. Change the engine oil and oil filter at the scheduled intervals. The engine should always be warm when the oil is changed so the oil will drain easily and com- pletely. The shock absorber has a spring force adjustment sleeve with five adjustment positions to allow the spring to be adjusted for different riding and loading conditions. If the spring action is too soft or too stiff, adjust it according to the chart. 1. Park the ATV on level ground. 2. Remove the oil level stick.
