A Guide to UTV Maintenance
Your utility terrain vehicle or UTV, also known as a side-by-side, is a trusty workhorse that can help you tackle trails or hard work projects with ease. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your UTV in top condition and ensuring it performs well for years to come. This guide will help you stay on top of the most essential UTV maintenance tasks.
Check the Oil
Regularly check the oil level in your UTV and change it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Dirty oil can cause damage to the engine, so it's important to keep it clean.
Inspect the Air Filter
A dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine and decrease performance. Check the air filter regularly and clean or replace it as needed.
Change Spark Plugs
Spark plugs should be checked and replaced regularly to ensure proper ignition and performance of the engine.
Inspect the Tires
Check the tire pressure regularly and make sure they are properly inflated. Also, inspect the tires for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary.
Check the Brakes
Regularly check the brake pads and discs for wear and replace them if needed. Properly functioning brakes are essential for safe operation of your UTV.
Test the Battery
Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure they are clean and tight. Also, check the battery's fluid level and top it off if needed.
Clean Your UTV
Regularly wash and clean your UTV to prevent dirt and debris from building up and causing damage. Pay special attention to the undercarriage and other hard-to-reach areas.
Store With Care
When not in use, store your UTV in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements. Also, consider using a cover to protect it from dust and debris.
