Use a gauge to check the air pressure.
Adjust if needed. Also look for signs of
damage or excessive wear (page 133).
Check for damage or looseness
(page 139).
Check the wheels to see that the axle nuts are
tightened. Use a wrench to make sure all
accessible nuts, bolts, and fasteners are tight.
Check for, and remove, any dirt,
vegetation or other debris that could be a
fire hazard or interfere with the proper
operation of the vehicle.
Check for deposits in the drain tube. If
necessary, clean the tube (page 106) and
check the air cleaner housing.
Walk around your ATV and look for
anything that appears unusual, such as a
leak or loose cable.
Check the cable housings for wear. Check
the fittings for looseness. Replace or
tighten as needed.
Make sure the headlight, brake light and
taillight are working properly.
Make sure you do not exceed the load
limits (page 37).
Check that all cargo is secure.
