Engine Oil Change:
Refer to manual for specific intervals, typically around 50-100 operating hours or annually.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Refer to manual for specific intervals, typically annually or per operating hours.
Belt Inspection Cv Transmission:
Regular inspection for wear and damage, replacement as needed, typically around 1500-2000 operating hours or sooner if issues arise.
Engine Oil Type:
Diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 (check manual for exact specification, e.g., API CK-4 or CI-4 rated).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid (check manual for specific recommendation).
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific CVT fluid or high-quality synthetic ATV transmission fluid (consult manual for exact specification, often proprietary or SAE 75W-90 gear oil in some cases).
Diesel Specific:
