Coolant temperature warning light “”
When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes.CAUTION:_
The engine may overheat if the ATV is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.
After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Before using this machine, check the following points:
ITEM ROUTINE PAGE
Brakes• Check operation, free play, fluid level and fluid leakage.
Fill with DOT 4 brake fluid if necessary.5-7–5-9,
8-93–8-107
Fuel Check fuel level.
Fill with fuel if necessary.5-11–5-13
Engine oil Check oil level.
Fill with oil if necessary.5-15–5-17,
8-33–8-45
Coolant reservoir Check coolant level.
Fill with coolant if necessary.8-57–8-67
Final gear oil/
Differential gear oil Check for leakage.5-19–5-21,
8-45–8-55
Throttle Check for proper throttle cable operation. 5-23, 8-91
Wheels and tires Check tire pressure, wear and damage.5-27–5-33,
8-115–8-117
Fittings and Fasteners Check all fittings and fasteners. 5-23

Differential gear oil
Make sure the differential gear oil is at the speci-
fied level. Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-51–
8-55 for details.)
EBU01244
Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cold. (The coolant level will
vary with engine temperature.) The coolant level is
satisfactory if it is between the upper and lower
level marks on the coolant reservoir. If the coolant
level is at or below the lower level mark, add tap
water (soft water) to bring the level up to the upper
level mark. Change the coolant every two years.
(See pages 8-57–8-67 for details.)CAUTION:_ Hard water or salt water is harmful to the en-
gine. You may use distilled water if you cannot
get soft water. _
Recommended oil:
SAE 80 API GL-4 Hypoid gear oil
