Engine Type General:
Likely a multi-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine (specific displacement depends on Prowler variant).
Estimated Horsepower Range:
Typically 30-60 HP for this class of UTV (specific to engine option).
Torque Characteristics:
Designed for low-end torque for utility and hauling applications.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline
Oil Type Recommendation:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity (e.g., 0W-40, 10W-40, 10W-50, depending on temperature and engine variant).
Oil Capacity:
Refer to manual for specific fill quantities (typically 2-3 quarts).
Length:
Varies by model variant (e.g., 110-120 inches typically).
Width:
Varies by model variant (e.g., 58-62 inches typically).
Height:
Varies by model variant (e.g., 70-75 inches typically).
Dry Weight:
Varies by model variant (e.g., 1000-1300 lbs typically).
Payload Capacity:
Refer to specific model variant specs, typically 500-1000 lbs.
Towing Capacity:
Refer to specific model variant specs, typically 1000-1500 lbs.
Crash Safety:
UTV safety is primarily based on design, ROPS (Roll-Over Protection Structure), seatbelts, and operator awareness. Specific crash test ratings are not typically provided like passenger cars.
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels.
Selectable 4Wd:
Provides enhanced traction in challenging terrain.
Rops:
Integrated Roll-Over Protection Structure for operator safety.
Seatbelts:
Three-point seatbelts for operator and passenger.
Headlights Taillights:
Standard lighting for visibility.
Engine Oil Change:
Refer to manual, typically every 50-100 operating hours or annually.
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
Refer to manual, check frequently in dusty conditions, replace as needed.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Refer to manual, typically every 100-200 operating hours.
Engine Coolant:
Refer to manual for type and mixture ratio (typically a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water).
Brake Fluid:
Refer to manual for DOT specification (typically DOT 3 or DOT 4).
Common Wear Items:
CV boots, brake pads, drive belts (CVT), suspension bushings are common wear items on UTVs, especially with heavy use.
Maintenance Importance:
Regular adherence to the maintenance schedule is crucial for longevity and optimal performance, especially for the CVT and drivetrain components.
