This machine is equipped with a sealed-type battery. Therefore it is not necessary to

 check the electrolyte or add distilled water in the battery. If the battery seems to have

 discharged,  consult  your  dealer.

NOTE

：

Do not try to remove the sealing caps of the battery cells. You may damage the battery.

Avoid  contact  with  skin,  eyes  or  clothing. Always  shield  eyes  when  working  near 

 batteries.  Keep  out  of reach of children.

Antidote:
EXTERNAL:  Flush  with  water.  INTERNAL:  Drink  large  quantities  of  water  or  milk. 

 Follow  with  milk  of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil.  Get prompt medical attention.

EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. Keep batteries

 away from sparks,  flames, cigarettes or other sources of ignition. Ventilate when charging
 or using in a closed space.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Battery Maintenance

When the machine is not used for a month or longer, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dark place.
Completely recharge the battery before reinstallation.

A special battery charger (constant voltage/ampere or constant 
voltage) is required for recharging a sealed- type

 battery. Using a conventional battery charger may shorten

the battery life.

 Always make sure the connections are correct when putting 

the battery back in the machine.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Cleaning of ATV
Keeping  your  ATV  clean  will  not  only  improve  its  appearance  but  it  can  also  extend  the  life  of 

 various components. With a few precautions, your ATV can be cleaned much like an automobile.

Washing the ATV
The best and safest way to clean your ATV is with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water.  

 Use a professional  type  washing  mitten,  cleaning  the  upper  body  first  and  the  lower  parts  last.   

Rinse  with  water frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots.

NOTE

：

If warning and safety labels are damaged, contact your dealer for replacement.

It is not recommended to use  high pressure type car wash system for washing the ATV.  
If a high pressure system is used, exercise extreme care to avoid water damage to the wheel bearings,

 transmission seals, body panels, brakes and warning labels.

NOTE

：

Grease  all  zerk  fittings  immediately  after  washing,  and  allow  the  vehicle  to  run  for  a

  while  to evaporate  any water that may have entered the engine or exhaust system.

Waxing the ATV
Your ATV can be waxed with any non-abrasive automotive paste wax. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners

 since they can  scratch the body finish.

CAUTION

Certain products, including insect repellants and chemicals, will damage plastic surfaces. 
Use caution when using these products near plastic surfaces.
