          TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE

Front and rear tire inflation pressure should be 0.28
kg/cm (4.0 psi).
REMOVING

 1. Secure the ATV on a support stand to elevate the
    wheels.

                 ! WARNING
Make sure the ATV is solidly supported on the sup-
port stand to avoid injury.                                                                                  AF612D

 2. Remove the wheels.

  NOTE: Keep left-side and right-side wheels sepa-
rated for installing them on their proper sides.           1. Using an air pressure gauge, measure the air pres-

 1. Clean the wheels and hubs using a pressure
    washer.                                                 NOTE: If repair is needed, follow the instructions

 3. Inspect each tire for cuts, wear, missing lugs, and
    leaks.                                                 NOTE: Be sure all tires are the specified size and
