Introduction When you own a Honda, you’re part of a worldwide family of satisfied customers — people who appreciate Honda’s reputation for building quality into every product. Your Honda was designed as a recreational ATV for off-road use by one rider only. Before riding, take time to get acquainted with your ATV and how it works. To protect your investment, we urge you to take responsibility for keeping your ATV well maintained. Scheduled service is a must, of course. But it’s just as important to observe the break-in guidelines, and perform all pre-ride and other periodic checks detailed in this manual. We also recommend that you read this owner’s manual before you ride. It’s full of facts, instructions, safety information, and helpful tips. To make it easy to use, the manual contains a detailed list of topics at the beginning of each section and an index at the back of the book. As you read this manual, you will find information that is preceded by a NOTICE symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your Honda, other property, or the environment. Read the Warranties Booklet (page 255) thoroughly so you understand the coverages that protect your new Honda and are aware of your rights and responsibilities. Whenever you ride, tread lightly. By staying on established trails and riding only in approved areas, you help protect the environment and keep off-road riding areas open for the future.

Please take a few moments to read these pages. This section also includes information about the location of safety labels on your ATV. ATV Safety Important Safety Information........................................................ 2 Safety Labels ................................................................................ 5 ATV Safety 1 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 2 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Important Safety Information Your ATV can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet while riding. There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we consider to be most important. Follow the Age Recommendation The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Children under age 16 should never operate this vehicle. Refer to the age warnings provided in this manual and on the ATV. Always Wear a Helmet It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page 60). Never Carry a Passenger Your ATV is designed for one person only. There are no handholds, footrests, or seat for a second person, so never carry a passenger. A passenger could interfere with your ability to move around to maintain your balance and control of the ATV. 2 ATV Safety 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 3 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Important Safety Information Ride Off-road Only Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you need to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV across. Take Time to Learn & Practice Even if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar with how this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and weight. Because many crashes involve inexperienced or untrained riders, we urge all riders to take a ATV operator course approved by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). See page 62. Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887 (USA only) to find out about the training courses nearest you. Be Alert for Off-road Hazards The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride offroad. Continually “read” the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow time to see and react to hazards. ATV Safety 3 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 4 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Important Safety Information Ride within Your Limits Pushing limits is another major cause of ATV crashes. Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride safely. Don’t Drink and Ride Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either. Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition It’s important to keep your ATV properly maintained and in safe riding condition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if you are stranded off-road far from your base. To help avoid problems, inspect your ATV before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. 4 ATV Safety 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 5 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Safety Labels Your ATV comes with a hang tag and several labels containing important safety information. Anyone who rides the vehicle should read and understand this information before riding. The labels should be considered permanent parts of the vehicle. If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your dealer for replacements.

This system is designed to provide maximum traction to help you escape from situations where the vehicle might otherwise become stuck, in the mud for example. When the front differential lock mode is activated, the front differential gear is locked causing all four wheels to rotate at the same speed. Because locking all four wheels together changes the way the vehicle handles and increases the amount of room necessary to turn, a speed limiter restricts the speed to 20 mph (32 km/h). Pushing and holding the start/override button in this mode allows you to momentarily override the 20 mph (32 km/h) speed limiter, up to 40 mph (64 km/h), to help you free the vehicle in more severe conditions. You should only use this feature where maximum traction is required and only in low speeds. For normal riding, use 2WD and 4WD modes. 36 Instruments & Controls 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 37 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Controls & Features To select the front differential lock mode: When the 4WD mode is engaged, reduce the speed of your ATV to below 10 mph (16 km/h) and slide the differential lock switch (1) over the 4WD switch.

While the engine is running, the EPS (Electric Power Steering) system provides power from the electric motor, which helps you to turn the ATV’s handlebar more easily. The EPS system on this ATV utilizes an overheat protection feature to prevent damage to system components. In certain extended, repetitive high-load situations the PS indicator will illuminate and the system will reduce or even disable power steering assist. The steering will perform as a normal non-EPS system during this brief period. If this occurs, safely stop the vehicle and allow the EPS system to cool down until the PS indicator goes off. After cooling down, steering will return to normal EPS operation. The PS indicator should light when the ignition switch is turned on and remain on until the engine is started. The PS indicator also lights when there is any abnormality in the EPS system. If this occurs, the electric power assist for turning will not be available, but the manual steering system will perform as usual. If the PS indicator lights at any time while riding, other than the temporary overheat condition described above, reduce speed and take your ATV to your dealer as soon as possible. Continuing to ride with a EPS system problem can damage system components. Do not modify your Electric Power Steering system. In case of a malfunction, take your ATV to your dealer.

To downshift, press the downshift switch once. Remember to close the throttle each time you shift to the next lower gear. The transmission cannot be upshifted from neutral to 1st gear when the engine speed is above 3,100 rpm or the ground speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h). The transmission cannot be downshifted from 1st gear to neutral when the engine speed is above 3,100 rpm or the ground speed is above 3 mph (5 km/h). If the electric shift system malfunctions, the transmission cannot be shifted by pressing the gearshift switches. See your dealer. (In an emergency, a gear may be selected manually so you may move the vehicle. See Emergency Gear Selection & Operation, page 220) procedures. Learning when to shift gears comes with experience. Keep the following tips in mind: • As a general rule, shift while moving in a straight line. • Close the throttle completely before shifting. Improper shifting may damage the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. • Upshift to a higher gear or reduce throttle before engine rpm (speed) gets too high. Learn the relationship between engine sound and the normal shifting points. 90 Basic Operation & Riding 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 91 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Shifting Gears • Downshift to a lower gear before you feel the engine laboring (lugging) at low rpm. • Avoid downshifting to help slow your ATV when engine rpm is high. Downshifting when engine speed is near its allowable maximum may over-rev the engine and possibly cause damage. • To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the ATV for long distances with the engine off. Recommended Shift Points Ride in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate smoothly. This will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control. Basic Operation & Riding 91 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 92 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding in Reverse If you need to ride in reverse, make sure the area behind you is clear and only operate the ATV at low speed.

You can also shift into "1" (1st gear) by pressing and holding the upshift switch ( ), then pressing the reverse switch within 0.5 seconds. The reverse switch will not operate if you operate continuously with the reverse switch pressed. Release the reverse switch once. The transmission cannot be shifted from neutral back into reverse when the engine speed is above 3,100 rpm or speed of your ATV is above 3 mph (5 km/h). WARNING 3 WARNING Applying only the rear brake abruptly when operating in reverse gear could cause the front wheels to lift off the ground and the ATV could overturn backwards. Carefully apply both the front and rear brakes when stopping in reverse gear. Basic Operation & Riding 93 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 94 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Braking Your ATV is equipped with disc brakes on both front wheels which are hydraulically activated by operating the front brake lever. A single drum brake on the rear axle housing is mechanically activated by depressing the brake pedal or operating the left brake lever. Although the front and rear brakes have separate controls, all four wheels are interconnected when your ATV is in the 4WD mode. So operating any brake control in the 4WD mode will cause braking at both the front and rear wheels. As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70 percent of total stopping power. For full braking effectiveness, use both the pedal and lever simultaneously. Using both braking systems will stop your ATV faster with greater stability. To slow or stop, apply the brake lever and brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting to match your speed. Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing your speed. The increase in engine compression from downshifting will help slow your ATV. Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to lock and slide, reducing control of your ATV. If this happens, release the brake controls, steer straight ahead until you regain control, then reapply the brakes more gently. 94 Basic Operation & Riding 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 95 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Braking When possible, reduce your speed or complete braking before entering a turn. Avoid braking or closing the throttle quickly while turning. Either action may cause one or more wheels to slip and reduce your control of your ATV. Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency situation are important riding skills. When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce their effectiveness. Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hands on the brake levers may overheat the brakes, reducing effectiveness. For information on how to apply the brakes in various riding situations, see the following section, Riding Your ATV. Basic Operation & Riding 95 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 96 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV Making Turns Learn how to turn your ATV properly. Practice the techniques outlined in this section on level ground and at low speeds until you are confident in making turns. WARNING 3 WARNING Turning improperly can make the ATV go out of control, causing a collision or overturn. • Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this owner’s manual. • Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. • Do not turn at excessive speeds. Remember that steering the handlebar in the front differential lock mode will cause steering to be heavy and increase turning radius. 96 Basic Operation & Riding 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 97 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV Lean your body to the inside of a turn and forward. To make a turn on level ground: Steer the handlebar and lean your body toward the inside of the turn. Leaning helps balance the vehicle, and it feels more comfortable. Leaning into a turn is an important technique to master in riding an ATV. To make a sharp turn at low speed: It helps to shift your body slightly forward on the seat, and lean inside, as you steer the handlebar. Shifting weight forward allows the rear wheels to turn easier, and it also improves front-wheel steering. To make a turn from a full stop: Apply the throttle gradually when you turn and start at the same time. Remember to shift your body forward to make sharp low-speed turns and whenever you turn while accelerating from a full stop. Basic Operation & Riding 97 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 98 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV Skidding or Sliding The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your speed low and ride with caution. WARNING 3 WARNING Skidding or sliding improperly may cause you to lose control of this ATV. You may also regain traction unexpectedly, which may cause the ATV to overturn. Learn to safely control skidding by practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. If your ATV skids sideways during a turn, steer in the direction of the skid. Avoid hard braking or accelerating until you have regained directional control. Remember that steering the handlebar in the front differential lock mode will cause steering to be heavy and increase turning radius. 98 Basic Operation & Riding 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 99 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV Riding Up Hills The ATV’s ability to safely climb hills largely depends on the rider’s skill and judgment. Begin by practicing on smooth, gentle slopes. As you gain experience, you’ll learn the hazards and your own limitations. You may then proceed to ride on more difficult terrain. However, you must be able to decide which hills or hazards might cause the ATV to overturn. Avoid excessively steep hills. WARNING 3 WARNING Operating on excessively steep hills can cause the vehicle to overturn more easily than operating on level surfaces or small hills. Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities. When climbing hills, you must shift weight toward the front wheels to help keep them on the ground. To do this, shift your body slightly forward on the seat and lean forward. For greater weight shift, move your body farther forward and lean forward. WARNING 3 WARNING Climbing hills improperly could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this owner’s manual. Basic Operation & Riding 99 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 100 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV Shift weight forward when climbing hills. • Always check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. • Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. • To climb a hill, take a running start in an appropriate gear and speed for the conditions. Maintain a steady speed as you ascend the hill. • Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. The ATV could flip over backward. • Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill. 100 Basic Operation & Riding 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 101 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV Stalling the ATV and/or Rolling Backwards: If you incorrectly estimate climbing capability or terrain conditions, the ATV may not have enough power or traction to continue uphill. If this happens, the ATV can stall and/or roll backwards. WARNING 3 WARNING Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could result in the ATV overturning. Always follow proper procedures for climbing a hill as described in this owner’s manual. What to do if the ATV stalls or rolls backwards when climbing a hill: If you are about to lose all forward speed: 1. Using the front and rear brakes together, bring the ATV to a stop with the vehicle pointed straight uphill. 2. Get off the ATV while you continue holding the brakes. 3. Shift into neutral, set the parking brake and turn the engine off. 4. Then assess the situation. If the ATV starts rolling backwards before you begin braking: 1. Keep your weight uphill. 2. Carefully apply the front brakes first, then carefully apply the rear brake. Do not apply either brake abruptly if you are rolling backwards, or the vehicle may overturn. If the ATV continues sliding backwards: After you’ve applied the brakes, get off and away from the vehicle. Remember that operating any brake control in the 4WD mode will cause braking at both the front and rear wheels. Basic Operation & Riding 101 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 102 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV What to do after the ATV has stalled or rolled backwards: If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether you can safely walk the ATV back down the hill, leave the vehicle where it is and get help. If possible, block the wheels so the vehicle doesn’t roll backwards. If the hill is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be able to walk the ATV back down the hill. Make sure your intended path is clear in case you lose control of the ATV. Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels. Body position for backing down a hill. 1. Stand with your body facing downhill, beside the vehicle so you can reach the rear brake lever/parking brake lever with your right hand. 2. Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels. Check your footing. 3. Slowly and carefully back the ATV down the hill using the rear brake lever/parking brake lever to control speed. 4.

Avoid angles that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. WARNING 3 WARNING Going down a hill improperly could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described in this owner’s manual. On downhills, shift your weight back. As you approach a downhill, stop and survey the terrain below. Never ride past the limit of your visibility. Never go down a hill at high speed. Basic Operation & Riding 103 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 104 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV When you’ve selected a safe downhill path, shift into a lower gear, shift your weight back with your arms extended and braced against the handlebar, then go down slowly with the throttle closed. Use mainly the rear brake to control speed. Avoid using either the front brake or rear brake hard or abruptly when riding down hills. Remember that operating any brake control in the 4WD mode will cause braking at both the front and rear wheels. Remember, braking effectiveness is reduced on any hill with a loose surface. Crossing or Turning on Hills or Slopes Riding on hills or slopes is different from riding on level terrain. Be careful when riding on any hill. Make sure that you practice on gentle, smooth slopes before attempting to ride on steeper or more difficult terrain. WARNING 3 WARNING Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. Always follow proper procedures for crossing or turning on slopes as described in this owner’s manual. Avoid crossing steep hills if possible. Remember that steering the handlebar in the front differential lock mode will cause steering to be heavy and increase turning radius. 104 Basic Operation & Riding 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 105 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Riding Your ATV Crossing Hills or Slopes • To maintain balance and stability when riding across a slope, you need to shift weight toward the uphill side of the vehicle. To do this, move your body off the center of the seat and lean toward the uphill side. • On a slippery or loose surface, you may also need to steer slightly uphill to maintain a straight course across the slope. • Avoid crossing hills that are excessively steep, slippery or rough. Shift weight uphill when crossing slopes. Making Turns on Slopes • Compared to riding on level ground, you may need to shift more weight and lean more when making turns on slopes. • Do not make turns on any slopes until you have first mastered the techniques for making turns on level terrain.

Fuel Recommendation type pump octane number unleaded 86 (or higher) Use only unleaded fuel in your Honda. If you ride your Honda in a country where leaded fuel might be available, take precautions to use only unleaded fuel. Your engine is designed to use any unleaded gasoline that has a pump octane number of 86 or higher. Gasoline pumps at service stations normally display the pump octane number. For information on the use of oxygenated fuels, see page 250. Use of lower octane gasoline can cause persistent “pinging” or “spark knock” (a loud rapping noise) which, if severe, can lead to engine damage. Light pinging experienced while operating under a heavy load, such as climbing a hill, is no cause for concern. If pinging or spark knock occurs at a steady engine speed under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If pinging or spark knock persists, consult your dealer. Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. 130 Servicing Your Honda 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 131 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Fuel Fuel Capacity Fuel tank capacity, including reserve: 3.88 US gal (14.7 ℓ) Reserve capacity: 1.29 US gal (4.9 ℓ) When there is only one segment left in the fuel gauge (page 24), fuel will be low and you should refuel as soon as possible.

The oil damper systems hydraulically control the natural compression and rebound of the suspension springs so that traction and comfort are maintained as the wheels ride over rough terrain. The spring pre-loads for your front and rear suspension systems adjust the amount of force required to begin compression of the spring. Consider adjusting your suspensions pre-load whenever you change your normal load, by adding or subtracting cargo, accessories, or when riding conditions change. The way you ride your ATV and the type of ride you want to experience can also influence your suspension needs. Lower spring pre-load provides a softer ride and is usually preferred for light loads and smooth terrain. Higher spring pre-load provides a firmer ride and is recommended for heavy loads and rough terrain. Suspension Adjustment Using a pin spanner, which is available from your dealer, the suspensions can be adjusted for rider weight and riding conditions by changing the spring pre-load. Do not attempt to disassemble, service, or dispose of the damper; see your dealer. The instructions found in this owner’s manual are limited to adjustments of the shock assembly only.

Make sure that both front shock absorbers are adjusted to the same position. Always adjust the shock absorber position in sequence (1-2-3-4-5 or 5-4-3-2-1). Attempting to adjust directly from 1 to 5 or 5 to 1 may damage the shock absorber. Servicing Your Honda 171 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 172 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Brakes The hydraulic disc brakes (front) and single mechanical drum brake (rear) on your ATV dissipate heat generated by the friction of the brake pads on the discs (front) and the brake shoes on the drum (rear) as the wheels are slowed. Hydraulic Disc Front Brake As the front brake pads wear, brake fluid level will drop. A leak in the system will also cause the level to drop. There are no adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear must be inspected periodically. The system must be inspected frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks. If the right brake lever freeplay does not feel within the normal range while riding, check the brake pads for wear (page 175). Worn pads should be replaced. If the pads are not worn beyond the recommended limit, there is probably air in the brake system. See your dealer to have the air bled from the system. Mechanical Drum Rear Brake If the rear brake lever/parking brake lever or brake pedal freeplay does not feel within the normal range while riding, check the brake shoes for wear (page 180).

WARNING 3 WARNING Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and maintenance. This ATV is equipped with low pressure tubeless tires. Although the tires are designed specifically for off-road use, they are not immune to punctures. Always select your riding area with care. The following pages give detailed information on how and when to check your air pressure, how to inspect your tires for wear and damage, and our recommendations for tire repair and replacement. Servicing Your Honda 183 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 184 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Tires Air Pressure Refer to Safety Precautions on page 115. Properly inflated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and riding comfort. Generally, underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Overinflated tires make your ATV ride harshly, are more prone to damage from surface hazards, and wear unevenly. Make sure the air valve caps are secure. If necessary, install new caps. 184 Servicing Your Honda 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 185 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Tires Always check air pressure when your tires are “cold.” If you check air pressure when your tires are “warm” — even if your ATV has only been ridden for a few miles — the readings will be higher. If you let air out of warm tires to match the recommended cold tire pressures, the tires will be underinflated. Be sure to check tire pressure at the riding site, since changes in altitude can affect air pressure. The recommended “cold” tire pressures are: FRONT RECOMMENDED PRESSURE REAR 4.4 psi (30 kPa) 4.4 psi (30 kPa) Servicing Your Honda 185 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 186 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Tires A manually operated tire pump should be used rather than the high pressure system found in service stations. This will minimize the possibility of tire damage from overinflation. If you use a high pressure system at a service station, add air in small amounts and check the pressure increase frequently to prevent possible tire damage from overinflation. WARNING 3 WARNING Operating this ATV with improper tires, or with uneven tire pressure may cause loss of control, and you could be seriously injured or killed. • Always use the size and type tires specified in this owner’s manual for this vehicle. • Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this owner’s manual.

Frequent cleaning also identifies you as an owner who values his ATV. A clean ATV is also easier to inspect and service. General Recommendations Refer to Safety Precautions on page 115. • To clean your ATV, you may use: – water – Hondabrite – a mild, neutral detergent and water – a mild spray and wipe cleaner/polisher – a mild spray and rinse cleaner/degreaser and water • Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or chemical solvents that could damage the metal, paint, plastic, and camouflage coating on your ATV (Honda SxS). • If your ATV is still warm from recent operation, give the engine and exhaust system time to cool off. • Park in a shady area. Washing your ATV in bright sunlight may cause the finish to fade because water droplets intensify the sun’s brightness. • Spotting is also more likely because surface water can dry before you have time to wipe it off. • Clean your ATV regularly to protect surface finishes. • We recommend the use of a low pressure garden hose to wash your ATV. High pressure washers (like those at coin-operated car washers) can damage certain parts of your ATV. NOTICE High pressure water (or air) can damage certain parts of your ATV. Water entering the muffler may damage the oxygen sensor. • After cleaning, inspect for damage, wear, and leaks (fuel, oil, coolant and brake fluid). Servicing Your Honda 199 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 200 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Appearance Care Washing Your ATV with a Mild Detergent Refer to Safety Precautions on page 115. 1. Cover or plug the exhaust outlet prior to washing your ATV. 2. Rinse your ATV thoroughly with cool water to remove loose dirt. 3. Fill a bucket with cool water. Mix in a mild, neutral detergent, such as dish washing liquid or a product made especially for washing motorcycles or automobiles. 4. Wash your ATV with a sponge or soft towel.

Inflate the tires to their recommended pressures (page 185). 8. Store your ATV in an unheated area, free of dampness, away from sunlight, with a minimum of daily temperature variation. 9. Place your ATV on blocks to lift all tires off the floor. 10. Cover your ATV with a porous material. Avoid using plastic or similar non-breathing, coated materials that restrict air flow and allow heat and moisture to accumulate. NOTICE Do not store your ATV in an upright position for extended periods of time. The ATV should be stored with all four tires on the ground. This can damage the vehicle, and leaking gasoline could be a hazard. 210 Tips 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 211 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Storing Your Honda Removal from Storage Refer to Safety Precautions on page 115. 1. Uncover and clean your ATV. 2. If your ATV has been stored for more than four months — change the engine oil (page 138). 3. If your ATV has been stored for more than two months — ask your dealer to drain and replace the fuel. 4. Charge the battery (page 198) as required. Install the battery. 5. Perform a pre-ride inspection (page 65), then test-ride your ATV at low speeds. Tips 211 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 212 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 You & the Environment Owning and riding an ATV can be enjoyable, but you must do your part to protect nature. When you show respect for the land, wildlife, and other people, you also help preserve the sport of off-road riding. Following are tips on how you can be an environmentally responsible ATV owner. • Tread Lightly. Stay on existing roads and trails, avoid surfaces that are easily damaged, and ride only in areas approved for offroad vehicles. • Keep the Noise Down. Loud vehicles can be offensive. Ride as quietly as possible, don’t remove your spark arrester, and don’t modify the muffler or any other part of your air intake and exhaust systems. Such modifications not only increase noise, they also reduce engine performance and may be illegal. • Choose Sensible Cleaners. Use a biodegradable detergent when you wash your ATV. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the atmosphere’s protective ozone layer. Don’t throw cleaning solvents away; see the following guidelines for proper disposal. • Recycle Wastes. It’s illegal and thoughtless to put used engine oil in the trash, down a drain, or on the ground. Used oil, gasoline, and cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt refuse workers and contaminate our drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Before changing your oil, make sure you have the proper containers. Put oil and other toxic wastes in separate sealed containers and take them to a recycling center. Call your local or state office of public works or environmental services to find a recycling center in your area, and to get instructions on how to dispose of non-recyclable wastes. 212 Tips 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 213 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Taking Care of the Unexpected With all the challenges you can encounter off-road, there’s a chance that sometime something may go wrong. This section gives practical advice to help you deal with a wide range of problems. Take time to read this section before you ride. Also review the tips in Preparing for a Ride (page 204).

However, problems can arise even with well-maintained machines. Remember to take along your owner’s manual, the tool kit that came with your ATV, and any other items (such as tire repair supplies and additional tools) that might help you solve a problem on your own. If something goes wrong during a ride, the first thing to do is stop as soon as you safely can. Do not continue riding if you have a flat tire, or you hear an unusual noise, or your ATV just doesn’t feel right. If you continue riding, you could cause more damage and endanger your own safety. After stopping, take time to assess the situation. Carefully inspect your ATV to identify the problem, then consider your options before you decide what to do. If a problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies, and skills to make a permanent repair, you may be able to fix it on the trail and continue riding. Or, you may be able to make a temporary repair that allows you to slowly ride back to your base where you can make a permanent repair or get help. When a problem is more serious — or you don’t have the tools, supplies, experience, or time to deal with it — you need to choose the safest way to get yourself and your ATV back to base. For example, if you are close enough, you (or you and another person) might be able to push it back. 214 Taking Care of the Unexpected 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 215 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Taking Care of the Unexpected Should you ever have a problem while riding, please follow these guidelines: • Always put personal safety first. • Take time to assess the situation and your options before deciding what to do. • If the problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies, and skills to make a temporary repair, be sure to have permanent repairs made as soon as possible. • Do not continue riding if you are hurt or your ATV is not in safe riding condition. Additional recommendations for specific problems follow.

To upshift, turn the tool clockwise (B). • If the alignment of the hexagonal hole does not allow sufficient movement in the desired shifting direction, remove the tool, flip tool over, and realign the hexagonal hole with the secondary spindle. • If the transmission does not shift, rock the vehicle back and forth and try again. And then if not shift again, the surface of the gear change tool invert and turn the gear change tool. • Return the gear change tool to under the rear fender cover. Do not attempt to shift gears manually using the gear change tool while riding. If the transmission is shifted manually when the electric shift system is functioning, the system will shutdown automatically and the shift switches will not operate. To reactivate the system, turn the ignition switch to the OFF (w) position, then turn it back to the ON (q) position. Taking Care of the Unexpected 221 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 222 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 If You Have a Flat Tire How you handle a flat tire on the trail depends on how serious the tire damage is, and what tools and supplies you have with you. If you have a slow leak or a minor puncture, use the plug method to make a temporary repair. (The plug method is applied from the outside of the tire and is the same as that for conventional tubeless tires.) A plug-type repair kit, available at most auto parts stores or service stations, provides a plug, an installation tool, tire cement, and an instruction sheet. Follow the instructions provided with the repair kit to make a temporary repair. As soon as possible, have the tire permanently repaired by your dealer. Any tire that cannot be repaired should be replaced. Whenever the ATV is to be operated far from service facilities or available transportation, we recommend that you carry a tire pump and a repair kit with the vehicle. If the leak is more serious, or a temporary repair doesn’t hold, the tire must be replaced. The tire will also need to be replaced if it is damaged (page 189). Replacing a tire involves removing and reinstalling the wheel (page 224). 222 Taking Care of the Unexpected 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 223 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 If You Have a Flat Tire If you are unable to repair a flat tire on the trail, you will need to send for help. We strongly recommend that you do not try to ride with a flat tire. The ATV will be hard to handle, and if the tire comes off the rim, it may lock up the wheel and cause you to crash. WARNING 3 WARNING Riding your ATV with a temporary tire repair can be risky. If the temporary repair fails, you can crash and be seriously injured or killed. If you must ride with a temporary tire repair, ride slowly and carefully until the tire is permanently repaired or replaced.

(1) (1) (1) wheel nuts (2) (2) wheel rim Removal 1. Park your ATV on a firm, level surface. 2. Loosen — but do not remove — the wheel nuts (1). 3. Raise the front (or rear) wheels off the ground and place a support block under the vehicle. 4. Remove the wheel nuts. 5. Remove the wheel. • Avoid getting grease, oil, or dirt on the front brake disc or pad surfaces when removing and installing each wheel. Any contamination can cause poor brake performance or rapid pad wear after reassembly. 224 Taking Care of the Unexpected 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 225 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 If You Have a Flat Tire Installation 1. Position the wheel. 2. Position the wheel nuts so that the tapered sides face the wheel rim (2). 3. Hand-tighten the wheel nuts on the wheel, then lower the ATV to the ground before tightening the nuts in a crisscross (rather than circular) pattern to the specified torque: 47 lbf·ft (64 N·m, 6.5 kgf·m) If a torque wrench was not used for installation, see your dealer as soon as possible to verify proper assembly. Improper assembly may lead to loss of braking capability. Taking Care of the Unexpected 225 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 226 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 If the High Coolant Temperature Indicator Lights Normally, the high coolant temperature indicator will only light momentarily when you turn the ignition to ON (q). High coolant temperature may be caused by restriction of air flow to the radiator (such as mud caked on the radiator), extended idling, an oil leak, a coolant leak, a low oil level, a low coolant level, or extended operation under adverse conditions. If the all segment of the coolant temperature gauge and high coolant temperature indicator are on while you’re riding, don’t ignore it. Pull safely to a stop. Stop the engine as soon as it’s safe to do so, and let it cool. NOTICE Continuing to ride with high coolant temperature or an overheated engine can cause serious engine damage. • A steaming engine indicates a coolant leak. Shut the engine off and wait until the steaming stops. Look for a leak, but don’t touch the engine or radiator system. Let everything cool off first. • Check for any restriction of air flow to the radiator. • If there’s no obvious problem, leave the engine on so the fan and coolant circulating system can continue working. Monitor the coolant temperature gauge and high coolant temperature indicator. The indicator may turn off after a brief stop with no load on the engine. • Check the radiator fan. If the fan is not working, turn the engine off. Open the fuse box (page 229) and check the radiator fan fuse. If the fuse is blown, replace it with the proper (same rating) spare fuse. Start the engine. If the all segment of the coolant temperature gauge and high coolant temperature indicator stays on, turn the engine off. If the radiator fan is working, visually check the coolant level in the reserve tank, located under the left front fender. It isn’t necessary to touch the radiator system. 226 Taking Care of the Unexpected 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 227 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 If the High Coolant Temperature Indicator Lights • If the reserve tank is low or empty, don’t ride without adding coolant (page 148). After adding coolant, turn the engine on and check the coolant temperature gauge and high coolant temperature indicator. If the indicator doesn’t turn off, do not ride. The engine needs repair. Transport your ATV to your dealer (page 206). If the temperature drops to normal, check the coolant level. If it has gone down, add more coolant. • Check for an oil leak. • Check the oil level. If necessary, add the recommended oil (page 136) to the upper level mark. If you must leave your ATV to get oil, secure it as much as possible. • Start the engine, and check that the coolant temperature gauge and high coolant temperature indicator goes off. If you are able to resume riding, continue to monitor the coolant temperature gauge and high coolant temperature indicator frequently. If there is an oil leak — do not ride the ATV until the leak is repaired by your dealer (page 206). If there’s a mild coolant leak, you can ride for awhile, carefully watching the coolant temperature gauge and indicator. Be prepared to stop and add more coolant or water. If the leak is bad, transport your ATV to your dealer (page 206).

If you replace a blown fuse with a spare fuse that has a lower rating, replace the fuse with the correct rating as soon as you can. Also remember to replace any spare fuses that were installed. If the replacement fuse of the same rating burns out in a short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem on your ATV. Leave the blown fuse in that circuit and have your ATV checked by your dealer. 232 Taking Care of the Unexpected 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 233 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 If You Crash Personal safety is your first priority after a crash. If you or anyone else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe to continue riding. If you cannot ride safely, send someone for help. Do not ride if you will risk further injury. If you decide you are capable of riding safely, carefully inspect your ATV for damage and determine if it is safe to ride. Check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts securing such parts as the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels. If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about possible damage but decide to try riding the ATV back to your base, ride slowly and cautiously. Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately apparent. When you get home, thoroughly check your ATV and correct any problems you find. Also, be sure to have your dealer check the frame and suspension after any serious crash.

Store the spare key and recorded key number in a safe location. You’ll need this number to have a duplicate key made. If you lose your key and aren’t carrying a duplicate, either get your spare or have one made. If you don’t know your key number, call the dealer where you purchased your Honda ATV. They may have it listed in their records. If they don’t, transport your ATV to them or the nearest dealer. The dealer will probably have to remove the ignition switch assembly to find the key number so they can make a key for you.

The greater amperage of an automobile battery when the car engine is running can damage your ATV’s electrical system. Bump starting is also not recommended. If you can’t charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge, contact your dealer. (Canada only) Your ATV will operate even if the battery is low (or dead), as long as the engine is running. If the engine is not running, it may be started using the recoil starter. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (q) position. 2. Check if the transmission is in neutral by moving the vehicle back and forth. 3. If the transmission is in neutral, the vehicle will move easily. Go to step 6. If the transmission is not in neutral, the vehicle will not move. 4. Remove the gear change tool from under of the rear fender cover (page 124). 5. Use the gear change tool to shift to neutral so you will be able to start the engine. Refer to How to Shift Gears Manually: (page 221). 6. Apply the parking brake. 7. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF (w) position, then turn it back to the ON (q) position. 8. Use the recoil starter (page 88) to start the engine.

During this period, avoid full-throttle starts, rapid acceleration, and constant rpm operation. Technical Information 245 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 246 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Emission Control Systems Exhaust Emission Requirements The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Environment Climate Change Canada (ECCC) require that your ATV comply with applicable exhaust emissions standards during its useful life, when operated and maintained according to the instructions provided. The Vehicle Emission Control Information Label (1) is attached on the left front of the frame. (Canada only) The Vehicle Emission Control Information Label (2) is attached on the left side of the frame. LEFT FRONT LEFT SIDE (1) (2) (1) vehicle emission control information label (2) vehicle emission control information label (Canada only) 246 Technical Information 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 247 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Emission Control Systems Source of Exhaust Emissions The combustion process produces carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC). Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. utilizes various systems to reduce carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons. Exhaust Emission Control System The exhaust emission control system includes a PGM-FI system and oxygen sensor. No adjustment to this system should be made although periodic inspection of the components is recommended. The exhaust emission control system is separate from the crankcase emission control system. Evaporative Emission Control System (USA - 50 states [meets California]) An evaporative emissions control system uses a canister filled with charcoal to adsorb fuel vapor from the fuel tank while the engine is off. The vapor is drawn into the engine and burned while driving. Models sold in and used in California: An add-on or modified part must be compliant with applicable ARB evaporative emission control standards. A violation of this requirement is punishable by civil and/or criminal punishment. Crankcase Emission Control System The engine is equipped with a Closed Crankcase System to prevent discharging crankcase vapors into the atmosphere. Blow-by gas is returned to the combustion chamber through the air cleaner, throttle body and intake-manifold. Technical Information 247 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 248 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Emission Control Systems Problems That May Affect ATV Exhaust Emissions If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your ATV dealer. Symptoms: 1. Hard starting or stalling after starting 2. Rough idle 3. Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration 4. After-burning (backfiring) 5. Poor performance (driveability) and poor fuel economy Federal regulations prohibit removing or disabling a device or element of design that may affect your engine’s emission performance unless your ATV will be used exclusively in competition. If you modify your engine for use in sanctioned competition events, you must deface or destroy the emission control information label. If you loan, sell, or give your competition modified Honda ATV to someone else, under applicable law, you must inform the new owner/operator in writing that the vehicle is to be used for competition only. 248 Technical Information 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 249 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Emission Control Systems Noise Emission Control System TAMPERING WITH THE NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS PROHIBITED: State laws prohibit, or Canadian provincial laws may prohibit, the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The removal or rendering inoperative by any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use; or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. AMONG THOSE ACTS PRESUMED TO CONSTITUTE TAMPERING ARE THE FOLLOWING ACTS: • Removal of, or puncturing the muffler, baffles, header pipes or any other component which conducts exhaust gases. • Removal of, or puncturing of any part of the intake system. • Lack of proper maintenance. • Removing or disabling any emissions compliance component, or replacing any compliance component with a non-compliant component. Fuel Permeation Emission Control System This vehicle complies with the Fuel Permeation Emission Control regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and Environment Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The fuel tank, fuel hoses, and fuel vapor charge hoses used on this vehicle incorporate fuel permeation control technologies. Tampering with the fuel tank, fuel hoses, or fuel vapor charge hoses to reduce or defeat the effectiveness of the fuel permeation technologies is prohibited by federal regulations. Technical Information 249 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 250 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Oxygenated Fuels Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions. If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement. Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces require this information to be posted on the pump. The following are the EPA-approved percentages of oxygenates for non-road vehicles: ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol) up to 10% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”. Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol by volume. The use of gasoline containing a higher percentage (e.g. E15, E20, E85) of ethanol has not been approved for use in this vehicle and may cause starting and/or performance problems and can also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the fuel system and are not be covered by the Distributor’s Limited Warranty. 250 Technical Information 20 TRX520FE2-31HR48600.book 251 ページ 2019年4月25日 木曜日 午後4時21分 Oxygenated Fuels METHANOL (methyl or wood alcohol) up to 5% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station or switch to another brand of gasoline. Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty. Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling the fuel tank. Wipe up any spills immediately. NOTICE Oxygenated fuels can damage paint and plastic. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered by warranty.
