3. INSPECTION/ADJUSTMENT ATV 50 Inspect the wheel. Replace if damage or bends Always balance the wheel when a tire or wheel has been changed or replaced. · Never attempt even small repairs to the wheel. · Ride conservatively after installing a tire to allow it to seat itself properly on the rim. DRIVE CHAIN SLACK ADJUSTMENT Before checking and/or adjusting, rotate the rear wheels several revolutions and check slack at several points to find the tightest point. Check and/or adjust the chain slack with the rear wheels in this "tightest" position. Too little of chain slack will overload the engine and other vital parts; keep the slack within the specified limits. Place the machine on a level place. Wheels should be on the ground without the rider on it. Check drive chain slack. Adjust if out of specification. Drive chain slack: 10-20 mm (0.4 0.8 in) Bolts Adjust drive chain slack: Elevate the rear wheels by placing a suitable stand under the rear of frame. Support the machine securely so there is no danger of it falling over. Loosen four bolts attaching rear axle hub. 3-16
