INTRODUCTION PERIODIC MAINTENANCE/LUBRICATION PERIODIC CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS INTRODUCTION This chapter includes all information necessary to perform recommended checks and adjustments. These preventive maintenance procedures, if followed, will ensure more reliable machine operation and a longer service life. The need for costly overhaul work will be greatly reduced. This information applies to machines already in service as well as to new machines that are being prepared for sale.
Page 51
Every two years replace the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake fluid. Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged. Since these items require special tools, data and technical skills, have an E-TON dealer perform the service.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER ELEMENTS/ CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTER b. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the spo- nge materials and let it dry. N O T I C E Do not twist or wring out the sponge materials. could damage the sponge materials. c.
Page 70
CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTER c. Tap the tailpipe lightly with a soft-face ham- mer or suitable tool, then use a wire brush to remove any carbon deposits from the spark arrester portion of the tailpipe and the inner contact surfaces of the muffler. d.
CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE SHOES/ ADJUSTING THE FRONT BRAKE CHASSIS CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE SHOES 1. Check: • Upper adjusting bolt • Lower adjusting bolt more than 12 mm (0.47 in) Replace the brake shoes as a set. Refer to “FRONT BRAKES” in chapter 6. ADJUSTING THE FRONT BRAKE Before adjusting the front brake, the front brake linings should be checked.
ADJUSTING THE PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTING THE PARKING BRAKE 1. Check: • parking brake cable end length Out of specification Adjust. Parking brake cable end length 53.0 ~ 57.0 mm (2.09 ~ 2.24 in) 2. Adjust: • parking brake cable end length a.
CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL 1. Place the machine on a level surface. When checking the brake fluid level, make sure that the top of the brake master cylinder reser- voir or brake fluid reservoir is horizontal. 2.
CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE PADS/ CHECKING THE BRAKE HOSE/ BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE PADS 1. Check: • brake pads Wear indicators almost touch the brake disc Replace the brake pads as a set. Refer to “REAR BRAKE” in chapter 6. Brake pad wear limit 1.0 mm (0.04 in) 2.
Page 75
BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM • Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or allow the brake master cylinder reservoir or brake fluid reservoir to overflow. • When bleeding the hydraulic brake system, make sure there is always enough brake fluid before applying the brake.
CHECKING THE FINAL TRANSMISSION OIL/ ADJUSTING THE DRIVE CHAIN SLACK CHANGING THE FINAL TRANSMISSION OIL 1. Place the machine on a level surface. 2. Place a receptacle under the final transmission case. 3. Remove: • dipstick • final transmission oil drain plug 4.
Page 77

CHECKING THE STEERING SYSTEM CHECKING THE STEERING SYSTEM 1. Place the machine on a level surface. 2. Check: • steering shaft bushings and bearings Move the handlebar up and down, and/or back and forth. Excessive play Replace the steering shaft bushings and or bearings. Refer to “STEERING SYSTEM”...
ADJUSTING THE TOE-IN ADJUSTING THE TOE-IN 1. Place the machine on a level surface. 2. Measure: • toe-in Out of specification Adjust. Toe-in 10 mm (0.40 in) Before measuring the toe-in, make sure that the tire pressure is correct. a. Mark both front tire tread centers. b.
ADJUSTING THE TOE-IN/ CHECKING THE FRONT AND REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS a. Mark both tie-rods ends. This reference point will be needed during adjustment. b. Loosen the locknuts (tie-rod end) of both tie-rods. c. The same number of turns should be given to both the right and left tie-rods until the specified toe-in is obtained.
ADJUSTING THE SHOCK ABSORBERS ADJUSTING THE SHOCK ABSORBERS WARNING Always adjust the spring preload of both front shock absorbers to the same setting. Uneven adjustment can result in poor han- dling and loss of stability. 1. Adjust: • spring preload a.
• TIRE CHARACTERISTICS 1) Tire characteristics influence the han- dling of ATVs. The tires listed below have been approved by E-TON POWER TECH Co., Ltd. for this model. If other tire com- binations are used, they can adversely affect your machine’s handling charac- teristics and are therefore not recom- mended.
Page 83
CHECKING THE TIRES 1. Measure: • tire pressure Out of specification Adjust. • The low-pressure tire gauge is included as standard equipment. • If dust or the like is stuck to this gauge, it will not provide the correct readings. Therefore, take two measurements of the tire’s pressure and use the second reading.
CHECKING THE TIRES/ CHECKING THE WHEELS 2. Check: • tire surfaces Wear/damage Replace. Tire wear limit Front and rear: 3 mm (0.12 in) WARNING It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire. When tire wear is out of specification, replace the tire immediately.
CHECKING AND LUBRICATING THE CABLES/ LUBRICATING THE LEVERS, STEERING SHAFT AND STEERING KNUCKLES CHECKING AND LUBRICATING THE CABLES WARNING WARNING A damaged cable sheath may cause corro- sion and interfere with the cable move- ment. An unsafe condition may result so replace a damaged cable as soon as possi- ble.
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY WARNING Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas and contain electrolyte which is made of poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid. Therefore, always follow these preventive measures: • Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
Page 87
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY Since VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) batteries are sealed, it is not possible to check the charge state of the battery by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be checked by measuring the voltage at the battery terminals.
Page 88
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY Example c. Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V d. Charging time = 6.5 hours e. Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30% 5. Charge: Charging Ambient temperature 20°C (68°F) • battery (refer to the appropriate charging method illustration) WARNING Do not quick charge a battery.
Page 89
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY • As shown in the following illustration, the open-circuit voltage of an VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery stabilizes about 30 minutes after charging has been completed. Therefore, wait 30 minutes after charging is completed before measuring the open-circuit voltage.
Page 90
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY Charging method using a variable-current (voltage) charger Charger Ammeter Measure the open-circuit Leave the battery unused for more than voltage prior to charging. 30 minutes before measuring its open- circuit voltage. Connect a charger and Set the charging voltage to 16~ 17V.
Page 91
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY Charging method using a constant voltage charger Measure the open-circuit Leave the battery unused for more voltage prior to charging. than 30 minutes before measuring its open-circuit voltage. Connect a charger and ammeter to the battery and start charging.
