MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Lubrication Recommendations NOTE: Hours are based on 10 mph average. If service is due at 20 hours, the equivalent odometer reading would be 200 miles.
Engine Oil Maintain the engine oil at the proper level to ensure a properly func- tioning engine, and change the oil and oil filter every 100 hours or every six months, whichever comes first. Dirt and metal particles col- lect in the oil, and oil loses its lubricative quality if used too long.
Engine Oil and Filter Change 1. Run the engine two or three minutes until warm. Stop the engine. 2. Clean the area around the drain plug at the bottom of the crankcase. 3. Place a drain pan beneath the engine and remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.
Front Differential The front differential oil should be changed every 100 hours If the ve- hicle is used in wet conditions, the oil should be checked more fre- quently.
Right Angle Drive The right angle drive oil should be changed every 100 hours. 1. With the vehicle on a level surface remove the fill plug and drain plug and drain oil into a drain pan. Discard the used oil properly. 2. Refill the drive box with SAE 80W-90 w/LSD additive, to the mid- dle of the sight window.
Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT) Do not modify any component of the CVT system. Doing so may re- duce its strength so that a failure may occur at a high speed. The CVT system has been precision balanced. Any modification will cause the system to be out of balance, creating vibration and additional loads on components.
Vehicle Immersion If it is impossible to take your vehicle to a dealer before starting it, fol- low the steps outlined below. Honda Engines 1. Move the vehicle to dry ground, or at least to a water level below the floor. 2. Disconnect the fuel pump wires.
Engine Air Filter We recommend that the air filter be cleaned every 25 hours and re- placed once a year. 1. The air filter is accessible from the right side of the vehicle, below the passenger seat. Loosen both fastening clips and remove the housing cover.

Throttle System Throttle Freeplay If the throttle pedal has excessive play due to cable stretch or cable misadjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle response, especially at low engine speed. The throttle may also not open fully. If the throttle pedal has no freep lay, t he thr ottle may be hard to control, and idle may be erratic.
Brake Inspection The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes and are acti- vated by the brake pedal. Routine inspections are recommended to keep the brake system in good operating condition. Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation.
Brake Inspection 5. Check the brake system for fluid leaks. 6. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel. 7. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. 8. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear.
Steering Wheel Inspection Check the steering wheel for freeplay and smooth operation as out- lined in the Maintenance Schedule. 1. Park the vehicle on level ground. 2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right. 3. There should be 0.8 - 1.0 in. (20 25 mm) of freeplay.
Tires Tire Tread Depth Always replace tires when tread depth is worn to 1/8” (.3 cm) or less. Wheel Lug Nuts Inspec t the lug nuts occasiona lly for tightn ess or missing nuts. Tigh ten to 35 ft. lbs. Wheel Removal 1. Stop the engine, place the transmission in gear and engage the parking brake.
