Tighten the cap snugly, being careful not to over tighten. Over tightening the cap can cause damage to the cap or seal.

The fuel tank capacity is 12 liters, 3.17 gal, including a reserve of 2.5 liters, 0.66 gal.

Use unleaded automobile gasoline with an octane level of 89 or higher.

NEVER REFUEL YOUR ATV when the engine is HOT. Wait 30 minutes after turning off the unit before refueling. Spilling fuel on a HOT engine could cause a fire. Wipe up any fuel spills before re-starting.

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR Fuel level before you start riding your ATV.

Remember: You can drive further in one hour on your ATV than you can walk in one day.

The “PRI” position of the valve allows fuel to flow freely from the tank bypassing the vacuum valve. The “PRI” setting is primarily use when draining the fuel from the tank for long storage periods or during vehicle maintenance. It can also be used in an emergency if the vacuum valve fails to operate correctly allowing the unit to be taken to a place where the fuel valve can be serviced. DO NOT operate the vehicle with the valve in the “PRI” position for long periods of time.

Fuel Valve

The unit is equipped with a three way fuel valve located on the left side of the unit just below the seat.

The valve has three settings; “PRI”, “ON” and “RES”. With the valve in the “ON” or “RES” position fuel flow is controlled by a vacuum vale in the petcock. Fuel will begin flowing to the carburetor as soon as the engine is turned over. “ON” is the normal operation position of the fuel valve. When you have to switch to the “RES” position you must refuel the unit as soon as possible to prevent running out of fuel.

Inline Fuel Filter

Your ATV is equipped with an inline fuel filter to

prevent dirt and debris from entering the carburetor and engine.

Check the filter for dirt or damage before each ride and at each refueling. Replace the filter if dirty or damaged.

The filter should be replaced every 600 hours of operation and at the start of each season.

To replace the filter, first turn the fuel valve to the “ON” or “RES” position. Then carefully unscrew the filter bowl from the bottom of the fuel vale by
