holding components together are tight. Replace all loose
rivets. Care must be taken that all calibrated nuts, bolts,
and cap screws are tightened to specifications (See Gen-
eral Information).
Headlight/Taillight-

Each time the ATV is used, lights should be checked for
proper function. Turn the ignition switch to the LIGHTS
position; the headlights and taillight should illuminate.

NOTE: The bulb portion of the headlight is fragile.
HANDLE WITH CARE. When replacing the headlight
bulb, do not touch the glass portion of the bulb. If the
glass is touched, it must be cleaned with a dry cloth
before installing. Skin oil residue on the bulb will
shorten the life of the bulb.

burns may result.
