Can-Am Outlander L Max Series 2016 Operator's Guide

To perform an oil change, warm up the engine to ensure oil flows out smoothly. Then, turn off the ATV and remove the oil drain plug located under the engine. Allow the old oil to fully drain into a container. Replace the drain plug and refill the engine with the recommended type and amount of oil. Check the oil level with the dipstick and adjust if necessary.
If your vehicle won't start, first check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and secure. If the battery is charged but the engine still won't start, inspect the fuses, spark plugs, and fuel supply. If these are functioning correctly, consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear and replace them if they are thin. Check the brake fluid level and top it up if necessary. Ensure the brake lines are free of leaks and that the brake lever feels firm when applied. Adjust the brake settings according to the owner's manual if needed.
The recommended tire pressure for the Can-Am Outlander L Max 2016 is typically around 5 psi for front tires and 5 psi for rear tires. However, always refer to the owner's manual or the tire manufacturer's guidelines for the most accurate specifications.
To adjust the suspension, locate the shock absorbers on the ATV. Use a spanner wrench to turn the preload adjuster, increasing or decreasing the tension according to your preference or terrain requirements. Always ensure both sides are adjusted equally to maintain balance.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes regular checks of fluid levels, brakes, and tires every 10 hours of use or monthly. Perform a more thorough inspection and servicing, including oil changes and air filter cleaning, every 50 hours of use or annually. Consult the owner's manual for a detailed schedule.
If your ATV is overheating, first check coolant levels and top up if necessary. Inspect the radiator for blockages and clean it if needed. Ensure the cooling fan is operational. If the problem persists, it may be a faulty thermostat or water pump, which should be examined by a professional.
To replace the air filter, remove the seat and locate the air filter box. Open the box, take out the old air filter, and insert a new one ensuring it fits snugly. Close the air filter box securely and replace the seat. Regular replacement keeps the engine running efficiently.
The Can-Am Outlander L Max 2016 is designed to run on regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using ethanol-blended fuels over 10% as they can cause damage to the fuel system. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific fuel recommendations.
To store your ATV for the winter, clean it thoroughly to prevent rust. Change the oil and filter, and fill the gas tank with fresh fuel and a stabilizer. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure and cover the ATV to protect it from dust and moisture.
