Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the engine oil, inspecting the air filter, checking the coolant level, and ensuring the tires are properly inflated. Refer to the user manual for specific intervals and procedures.
If the engine doesn't start, check the battery charge, ensure the fuel tank is filled, inspect the spark plugs, and verify that the kill switch is in the 'run' position. If issues persist, consult a professional technician.
To troubleshoot overheating, check the coolant level, inspect the radiator for debris, ensure the fan is operational, and verify the thermostat is working properly. Clean and clear any obstructions from the cooling system.
The recommended oil type is Polaris PS-4 Synthetic 5W-50 for optimal performance. Always refer to the owner's manual for the most accurate information.
To adjust the suspension, locate the adjustment knobs on the shocks. Turn clockwise to increase stiffness and counterclockwise to decrease stiffness. Adjust according to your riding preference and terrain conditions.
Check the EPS fuse, inspect the wiring connections, and ensure the battery is fully charged. If the problem persists, it may require professional diagnosis and repair.
For winter storage, clean the ATV thoroughly, change the oil, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store it in a dry, covered location. Consider using a cover to protect it from dust and debris.
To change a tire, first secure the ATV on a stable surface and use a jack to lift the vehicle. Remove the lug nuts, replace the tire, and then tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern. Ensure the tire is properly inflated.
The break-in procedure involves operating at varying speeds and avoiding full throttle for the first 20 hours. Gradually increase engine load to allow components to seat properly.
To clean the air filter, remove it from the housing, wash it with a mild detergent and water, allow it to dry completely, and then reapply air filter oil before reinstalling.
