GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on your UTV is very dangerous. A tire is
considered to be worn-out when the depth of the tread is less
than 1/8 in (3 mm). Be sure to replace the tires on your UTV
before reaching this minimum specification.
Tire Replacement
Your UTV has low-pressure tubeless tires. Air is sealed by the
contact surfaces of the inner wheel rim and the tire bead. If either
the inner wheel rim or tire bead are damaged, air may leak. Be
extremely careful not to damage these areas when replacing tires.
It is very important to use proper tools when repairing or replacing
tires to prevent damage to the tire, the tire bead or wheel rims. If
you do not have access to the proper tools or lack the technical
ability, have your tires serviced by an authorized KYMCO dealer.
The use of worn-out tires on your UTV can be dan-
gerous and can increase the risk of an accident.
When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel,
be extremely careful not to damage the inner wheel
surface or the tire bead.
Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a puncture, the tire may be
repaired using a plug-type repair. If the damage is from a cut or if
the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug, the tire must be
replaced. When riding your UTV in areas where transportation or
service facilities are not readily available, you should carry a plug-
type repair kit and a tire pump.
Use only KYMCO approved tires on your UTV when re-
placing tires. Failure to do so could result in unstable
UTV operation.
To adjust the engine idle speed (RPM) follow this procedure:
ENGINE IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT
To properly adjust the engine idle speed on your UTV, a ta-
chometer is required. If you do not have one, take your UTV to
an authorized KYMCO dealer.
NOTE: The idle adjustment screw is located on the
carburetor.
Adjust the idle to the correct RPM after making sure
the engine is at normal operating temperature.
1. Start your UTV's engine and warm it to normal operating temperature
2. Turn the idle adjustment screw in or out until the engine idles
between 1400 to 1600 RPM
