CFMOTO CF500-2 2009 Owner's Manual

To perform routine maintenance, regularly check and change the oil, clean the air filter, inspect the brakes, check tire pressure, and lubricate moving parts as per the owner's manual.
CFMOTO recommends using a high-quality 10W-40 four-stroke engine oil for optimal performance. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
If your ATV won't start, check the battery charge, ensure the fuel tank is filled, inspect the spark plug, and verify that the kill switch is set to 'Run'.
If overheating occurs, check the coolant level, ensure the radiator is clean and unobstructed, and inspect the fan for proper operation.
To adjust the brakes, locate the brake adjusters near the wheels and turn them to achieve the desired brake tension, ensuring that the brakes do not drag.
The recommended tire pressure is typically 4 psi for the front tires and 5 psi for the rear tires, but always refer to the owner's manual for exact specifications.
To improve fuel efficiency, ensure regular maintenance, avoid unnecessary idling, keep tires properly inflated, and ride at moderate speeds.
If experiencing poor acceleration, inspect the air filter for blockages, check the fuel system for clogs, and ensure the spark plug is clean and in good condition.
To clean the air filter, remove it from the housing, wash it with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, allow it to dry completely, and re-oil lightly before reinstalling.
Use a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant mixed with distilled water in a 50/50 ratio. Always check the owner's manual for specific coolant recommendations.
