What you Should Know as a owner:
For off-road vehicles (ORVs) like UTVs, ATVs, and side-by-sides, seasonal service is important to keep them running safely and efficiently. Here’s a checklist of required and recommended maintenance:
1. Engine & Fluids
Oil change – Every 50–100 hours or once per season (check manufacturer guide).
Oil filter replacement – With every oil change.
Coolant check – Top off or replace to prevent freezing in cold weather.
Brake fluid check – Replace if dirty or low.
2. Tires & Wheels
Tire inspection – Check tread, pressure, and damage.
Wheel bolts – Ensure they’re tight.
Wheel alignment – If handling feels off.
3. Battery
Check charge – Recharge or replace if weak.
Clean terminals – Remove corrosion for good connection.
4. Drive System
Chain/drive belt inspection – Check tension and wear; lubricate if needed.
CV joints/axles – Inspect for cracks or grease leakage.
5. Brakes & Suspension
Brake pads & rotors – Inspect and replace if worn.
Shocks & struts – Check for leaks or damage.
Steering components – Ensure smooth operation, no play.
6. Air Filter & Fuel System
Air filter cleaning/replacement – Vital for dusty trails.
Fuel filter check – Replace if dirty.
Fuel system treatment – Stabilize fuel for winter storage.
7. Lights & Electrical
Headlights, taillights, signals – Ensure all work properly.
Wiring inspection – Look for frayed wires or loose connections.
8. General Inspection
Nuts & bolts – Tighten loose hardware.
Body & frame – Check for cracks or damage.
Lubrication – Grease all pivot points, suspension, and bearings.
