Drive Chain
The drive chain will wear
with use and requires periodic adjustment.
Remove
the chain cover, measure the amount of chain slack
to check the chain tension. Chain slack is measured
by pushing down on the chain between the two sprockets.
The amount of slack should be 3/8” – 7/8”
The chain slack can be adjusted
by loosening the four large bolts on back of the axle
assembly. The chain adjuster screw can then be tightened
to the desired tension. Make sure the four large bolts
are Re-tighten.
The chain needs to be lubricated
periodically. To lubricate chain, we recommend a non
oil-based graphite spray.

Battery
Danger/Warning
Battery contains sulfuric
acid
While filling new battery with electrolyte, avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing; otherwise rinse immediately with water, then consult a doctor.
You may have purchased your ATV
without the battery installed. To install the battery
follow the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Once the electrolyte (battery acid) has been placed
in a new battery no charging is necessary.
To charge a dead battery, the following
charging method should be followed.
Normal charge: 0.4A x 5hrs.
Fast charge: 4A x 30 min.
When reinstalling the battery,
be sure to connect the red cable to the positive (+)
lead and the black cable to the negative (-) lead.
When battery can no longer hold a charge, replace it.
The battery should be replaced every three years as
a normal service.

Throttle Cable
Inspect throttle cable
condition and operation. Replace cable if it has become
worn or kinked. Lubricate cable with cable lubricant
to prevent pre mature wear or corrosion.
Throttle
speed can be adjusted with adjuster screw located
beside the throttle lever. Loosen the lock
nut and turn the adjuster.
RETURN TO TOP
Brakes
Check the brake cables for kinks
or signs of wear that could cause sticking or failure.
Lubricate brake cables with an available cable lubricant
to prevent premature wear or corrosion. Make sure brake
arm, spring, rod and fasteners are in good condition.
RETURN TO TOP
Spark Plug
The spark plug is located
on front of the ATV engine
Standard
spark plug: NGK BPR7HS or BP7HS
To inspect spark plug do the following:
1. Disconnect the spark plug cap.
2. Clean up dirt from around the spark plug base.
3. Remove the spark plug. This can be accomplished by using the spark plug
wrench located in the tool box.
4. Inspect the plug electrodes for wear. If the electrodes and insulator tip
appear burned, change to new plug.
5. Discard the spark plug if there is apparent wear or if the insulator is
cracked or chipped.
6. Install the spark plug, screw it in finger tight and then tighten with the
spark plug wrench another ½ turn to compress the washer.

Air Cleaner
The air cleaner
will accumulate dust and should be cleaned every 30 operating
days. If riding in dusty areas, the filter will need
to be cleaned more frequently. A dirty air filter will
cause ATV to run poorly.
To clean the filter:
1. Remove the air cleaner cover.
2. Take out the filter from the air cleaner case
3. Wash the filter element in a non-flammable or high flash point solvent.
Soak the element in clean 80-90 weight gear oil until saturated, then squeeze
out excess oil.
4. Let filter element dry and then reinstall it.
RETURN TO TOP
Crank Case Oil
Your ATV takes
4 oz of 80-90 weight gear oil in the crank case. This
oil is already in your ATV when received from the factory.
The oil should be changed after every 30 operating days
of use. Changing the oil can be accomplished by removing
the screw plug at the bottom of the crank case and letting
the oil drain out. NOTE: When full the oil will not be
visible from the fill cap.
RETURN TO TOP
Oil
Your ATV takes 2 cycle oil.
We recommend Yamalube, Honda line, or Bel-Ray 2 cycle
oils. These oils can be purchased at most motorcycle
shops. Add oil when the oil level is no lower than ½
inch from the bottom of the tank. Never run ATV without
2 cycle oil, this will destroy the engine.
RETURN TO TOP
Tires
It is common industry practice
to over inflate the tires. This is done to guarantee
an airtight seal. Prior to riding the ATV for the first
time, you may need to reduce the air pressure in the
tires to the specification listed below.
2.5 Recommended PSI
3.0 Max PSI
2.0 Min PSI
Never ride ATV on paved surfaces,
this will reduce life of the tires.
