3.2.2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Warning ! Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of
operator and the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

When two or more persons work together, keep reminding each other for safety purpose.
When the engine indoors starts, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.
If use hazardous or flammable material, please strictly operate according to manufacturer’s operation
manual. Operate in a well- ventilated place.
Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.
Do not touch the engine oil, radiator or muffler with bare hands to avoid scalding before it is cooled.
Check all the lines, and fittings related to the system for leakages, after repairing fuel, cooling, lubricating
or exhaust system .
Do not dispose used oil, coolant or defective parts optionally for environmental purpose.

CAUTION:

Use genuine LINHAI parts or their equivalent.


Place and store the disassembled parts separately in order for correct assemble.
Use special tools according to service manual.
Make sure that all parts used in reassembly are clean, lubricated them when specified.
Use the special lubricants, sealants and greases.
Pre-tighten the bolts, nuts and screws, then tighten according to the specified torque, from big to small and
from inner side to outer side.
Fix torque screw with torque wrench, clean grease or oil from the screw thread before fixing.
Check the parts after disassembling, clean the parts before measuring.
Check parts for tightness and proper operation, after assembling.
Replace the disassembled washers, o-rings, seals, locknuts, lockwashers, cotter pins, circlips with new
ones.

3.2.3 FUEL, OIL AND COOLANT


Fuel
Use unleaded gasoline with octane number over 87.
CHAPTER 3 ENGINE PAGE. 3- 9
CHAPTER 3 ENGINE T-Boss550 SERVICE MANUAL20.0

OIL
Use a premium quality 4-stroke motor oil to ensure
longer service life of your vehicle. Use only oils that
meet API service classifications SG and that
have a viscosity rating of SAE15W/40. If oil with a
rating of SAE 15W/40 is not available, select an
alternative according to the chart.

ENGINE COOLANT
Since antifreeze also has corrosion and rust-inhibiting properties, always use coolant containing antifreeze,
even if the atmospheric temperature does not go below the freezing point.
It is suggested that the freezing point of antifreeze should be 5℃ lower than the lowest ambient temperature
where the vehicle is used.
Recommended Coolant: -35℃ antifreeze, corrosion-resistant, high boiling point coolant

Warning! Coolant is poisonous. Never drink it. Store it properly.

Caution: DO NOT mix coolant with that of other engines.

3.2.4 BREAK-IN PROCEDURES


During manufacturing only the best possible material are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard. It is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-IN” before subjecting the engine to
maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. Refer to the following break-in engine speed recommendations.
For better performance and durability, a new engine requires a run-in time of 20 hours as under:
0~10 Hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half throttle. Allow a cooling off period of five to ten minutes after every hour
of operation. Vary the speed of vehicle from time to time. Do not operate it at one set throttle position.
10~20 Hours
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttles. Rev the vehicle freely but do not use full throttle at any time.

Note: Keep the daily maintenance during the run-in time and eliminate the troubles, if any. After 20h run-in time,
do the maintenance according to the owner’s manual for normal operation of the UTV.

3.3.2 Procedures of Maintenance & Adjustment

This section describes the maintenance procedures for


each item mentioned in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
3.3.2.1 VALVE CLEARANCE

Inspect initially at 20-hour break-in and every 40 hours


or every 1000km thereafter. Inspect the clearance after
removing cylinder head.

Excessive valve clearance results in valve noise and


insufficient valve clearance results in valve damage and
reduced power.
Check the valve clearance at the period indicated above
and adjust the valve clearance to specification, if
necessary.
Remove cover ①
Remove inspection cap ②on left crankcase.
Remove 2 valve adjusting cover ③
Turn the crankshaft until the line④ of T.D.C. on rotor is
aligned with mark⑤ of inspection hole on left
crankcase.
Insert feeler gauge to check the clearance between
the valve stem end and the adjust bolt on the rocker
arm.

Valve Clearance (When cold)


IN: 0.05-0.10mm EX: 0.15-0.20mm

Note:
The valve clearance must be adjusted when the
engine is cold.
Adjust the valve clearance when the piston is at the
Top Dead Center (T.D.C.) on the compression stroke.

If the clearance is incorrect, bring it into the specified range


using the special tool.

Loosen valve adjust bolt and nut, insert a feeler gauge


between the valve stem end and valve adjusting bolt,
tighten valve adjust bolt, make sure it slightly contacts the
feeler gauge, tighten bolt and nut.

CHAPTER 3 ENGINE PAGE. 3- 24


CHAPTER 3 ENGINE T-Boss550 SERVICE MANUAL20.0

Take out the feeler gauge, measure the clearance.


If the clearance is incorrect, repeat the above steps until
the proper clearance is obtained.
Locknut: 10 N•m

Caution:
Securely tighten the locknut after completing
adjustment

Install:
2 valve adjusting cover;
Inspection cap;
Recoil starter;
Cover plate;
Apply a small quantity of THREAD LOCKER to recoil
starter fixing bolts.

Tools:
Valve adjuster
Feeler gauge
Material:
Thread Locker

3.3.2.2 ENGINE IDLE SPEED


Inspect initially at 20 hours run-in and every 40
hours or 1000km thereafter.

Start the engine and warm it up for several minutes,


measure engine speed with a tachometer. Set the
engine idle speed between 1300~1500 r/min by turning
the throttle stop screw of carburetor.
Engine idle speed: 1400r/min±100r/min
Note:
Make this adjustment when the engine is hot
Tool: Tachometer

3.3.2.3 SPARK PLUG


Inspect initially at 20 hours run-in and every 80 hours or
2000km thereafter. Replace every 6000km.
Remove the spark plug with a special tool
Specification: DER7EA-9(NGK)

If the electrode is extremely worn or burnt, or spark plug


has a broken insulator, damaged thread, etc, replace the
spark plug with a new one.

mounting surface should also be flat to avoid subjecting the base plate to unnecessary force and
warping the PCB.

CHAPTER 3 ENGINE PAGE. 3- 103


CHAPTER 3 ENGINE T-Boss550 SERVICE MANUAL20.0

3.5.1.5 Power Requirements


● Operating Range: All planned functions are executed in this range. Battery and/or Ignition
voltage: 9.0 to 16V DC. However, when the battery voltage is lower than 13.6 volts, the engine’s
start speed may be low. Then, you should charger the battery with the charge.
● Reverse Voltage: The controller will survive with no permanent damage: Battery and/or
Ignition voltage < -13V DC for 1 minute. But the fuse will fuse.

3.5.1.6 Operating Temperature


The controller shall operate in the ambient temperature from -20 ℃ to +85 ℃.

3.5.1.7 Maintenance service and Repair


ECU is a non-serviceable part. Once there are problems, it’s important to first determine if the
problem is caused by software/calibration. If it is caused by software/calibration, please reflash
the ECU by professional tools. In the event of ECU hardware failure or malfunction (during
warranty period only) the ECU should be sent back to the vehicle manufacturer giving complete
details of the ECU Part No, Serial number, Vehicle Model & Make, manufacturing Date, Total
kms run on the vehicle, Location of use, Vehicle No, Date of return.

3.5.2 INJECTOR
3.5.2.1 Appearance
The figure below shows the standard M3.5 Fuel Injector appearance.

3.5.2.2 Temperature Requirements :


Typical injector temperature environments are defined below. The injector will not experience
any loss of the ability to comply with the flow tolerance requirements after exposure to the follow-
-ing temperature environments. Also, they will not experience unacceptable external leakage,any
type of physical degradation, or loss of service life during or after being exposed to these ambient
conditions.
● Normal Operating Temperature Range: - 30℃ to 125℃
● Extreme Operating Temperature Range (some performance degradation): - 40℃ to 150℃
3.5.2.3 Fuel Contamination
The injector fuel inlet filter protects the fuel injector from initial build fuel contamination as well
as from fuel system assembly contamination. Filtration is extremely important because particle
contaminants can cause an injector to stick open, flow shift or tip leak.
The injector inlet filter is not a serviceable component and is designed only to trap potential
built-in contamination between the chassis fuel filter and injector.
Please replace the fuel filter regularly according to the usage. The filter is located above the
CHAPTER 3 ENGINE PAGE. 3- 104
CHAPTER 3 ENGINE T-Boss550 SERVICE MANUAL20.0

tank.

3.5.2.4 Injector Installation


Follow these guidelines to prevent damage to the injector and its electrical interface during
the replacement or re-installation process.
● Lubrication: Apply a light coating of lubricant to the lower injector seal ring. ISO 10 light
mineral oil or equivalent is recommended.
● The preferred technique is to apply the lubricant to the sockets the injectors are being
installed into, rather than directly to the seal ring itself. This will help minimize the possibility of
injector contamination.
● Avoid applying lubricant over the director plate holes – this may restrict injector flow. Do not
dip the injector tip in lubricant.
● The injectors come from the factory with the seal rings attached. The re-use of seal rings is
not preferred when replacing an injector. If an injector is to be re-used, and no new seal rings are
available, take care to inspect each seal ring for signs of damage. Even minor defects in the seal
ring can lead to leakage. Take extra care in installing seal ring over flange of injector inlet.
● Carefully installing the harness connector will prevent terminal damage. Listen for a positive
audible click from the connector retention device — this ensures that it is fully engaged.
● Avoid unnecessarily disconnecting/reconnecting the harness connector.
● Wires routed in a manner that can allow them to become pinched between components can
result in a short circuit and a stuck open injector.
● For injectors that require orientation for spray pattern, do not rotate the injector in the fuel rail
assembly to install the injector electrical connector. This may dislodge the retaining clip, and
result in improper spray orientation.
The table is a list of lubricant oils that were tested and approved for O-ring lubrication. These
lubricants have shown to have no effect on injector performance (plugging, sticking).

CHAPTER 3 ENGINE PAGE. 3- 105


CHAPTER 3 ENGINE T-Boss550 SERVICE MANUAL20.0

3.5.2.5 Replacement Techniques


The following procedure outlines standard the Injector removal and replacement.
Warning: The injector and all associated hardware may be extremely hot.
● Shut off ignition.
● Disconnect negative battery cable to avoid possible fuel discharge if an accidental attempt is
made to start the engine.
● Disconnect the electrical connector from the injector wiring harness.
● Relieve fuel pressure
● Remove the retaining clip from the fuel injector.
● Remove the fuel line connection from the injector
● Carefully clean debris from the interface surfaces. Do not damage seal mating surfaces.
● Remove the injector from the manifold.
● Apply a light coating of a lubricant to both the upper and lower injector seal ring of the
replacement injector.
● Install the new injector into the manifold. Check that the injector is installed in the original
orientation to maintain proper spray targeting, and that the retaining clip is properly seated on the
injector and the fuel line.
● Install the retaining clip after connecting the fuel line.
● Tighten the injector mounting to the desired torque as mentioned in the manufacturer manual.
● Tighten the fuel line.
● Re-install the injector electrical connector
● Check for fuel leaks with the key “on” and the engine “off”.
● Start engine and verify proper operation.

3.5.2.6 Interchange ability


The injector should be replaced in service only with an equivalent injector of the same part
number. On occasion, a new part number may supersede part numbers. Consult the appropriate
vehicle service manual and part number guide for the latest replacement injector part number
information.

3.5.8 Fuel Pump Module


3.5.8.1 Description and Working Principle
Fuel Pump Module supplies fuel to engine at system pressure. Fuel Pump Module is mounted
to fuel tank at top and supplies fuel to engine through hoses. Fuel Pump module consists of Fuel
Pump to generate the fuel flow and pressure regulator to regulate the fuel pressure.
When power is supplied to fuel pump, motor in pump assembly rotates the impeller. Impeller
in turn draws the fuel from strainer and pumps the flow to generate the system pressure.
Pressure Regulator is a diaphragm type mechanical device. Fuel flow from filter enters in the
inlet of pressure regulator. Pressure regulator regulates the fuel pressure at a set pressure by
releasing the excessive fuel flow to fuel tank.

6.3 BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE NOTES


 It is strongly recommended always change the caliper and (or) the master cylinder as an
assembly. The parts inside maybe not interchangeable due to different brake manufactures
and (or) different brake type.
 Do not over – fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
 Make sure the brake lever and pedal returns freely and completely.

CHAPTER 7 BRAKES PAGE. 7- 2


CHAPTER 6 BRAKES T-Boss 550 SERVICE MANUAL20.0

 Check and adjust master cylinder reservoir fluid level after pad service.
 Make sure atmospheric vent on reservoir is unobstructed.
 Adjust foot brake after pad service.
 Test for brake drag after any brake system service and investigate cause if brake drag is
evident.
 Make sure caliper moves freely on guide pins (where applicable) .
 Inspect caliper piston seals for foreign material that could prevent caliper pistons from
returning freely.
 Perform a brake burnishing procedure after install new pads to maximize service life.
 DO NOT lubricate or clean the brake components with aerosol or petroleum products. Use
only approved brake cleaning products.

6.4 BURNISHING PROCEDURE


Brake pads (both hydraulic and mechanical) must be burnished to achieve full braking
effectiveness. Braking distance will be extended until brake pads are properly burnished. To
properly burnish the brake pads, use the following procedure.
1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate the CUV to 50 km/h (30 mph ) and to
brake to a stop.
2. Using hi gear, accelerate to 50 km/h (30 mph); then compress brake lever (pedal) to
decelerate to 0-8km/h (5 mph).
3. Repeat procedure on each brake system 20 times until brake pads are burnished.
4. Adjust the mechanical parking brake (if necessary).)
5. Verify that the brake light illuminates when the hand lever is compressed or the brake pedal
is depressed.

Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could lead to premature brake pad wear or brake loss.
Brake loss can result in severe injury.

6.5 BRAKE BLEEDING-FLUID CHANGE


NOTE: When bleeding the brakes or replacing the fluid always start with the caliper farthest
from the master cylinder.

CAUTION:
Always wear safety glasses.

CAUTION:
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid on any surface of the CUV.

CHAPTER 7 BRAKES PAGE. 7- 3


CHAPTER 6 BRAKES T-Boss 550 SERVICE MANUAL20.0

brakes during regular maintenance.
1. Clean reservoir cover thoroughly.

2. Remove cover from reservoir.

3. If changing fluid, remove old fluid from reservoir


with a brake fluid pump or similar tool.
4. Add brake fluid up to the indicated MAX level on
the reservoir.
DOT 3 Brake Fluid
5. Begin bleeding procedure with the caliper that is
farthest from the master cylinder. Install a box
end wrench on the caliper bleeder screw. Attach
a clean, clear hose to the fitting and place the
other end in a clean container. Be sure the hose
fits tightly on the fitting.
6. Slowly pump foot pedal until pressure builds and
holds.
7. Hold brake pedal on to maintain pedal pressure,
and open bleeder screw. Close bleeder screw
and release foot pedal.
NOTE: Do not release foot pedal before bleeder
screw is tight or air may be drawn into master
cylinder.
8. Repeat procedure until clean fluid appears in
bleeder hose and al air has been purged. Add
fluid as necessary to maintain level in reservoir.
CAUTION:
Maintain at least 1/2 "( 13mm) of brake fluid in the
reservoir to prevent air from entering the master
cylinder.
9. Tighten bleeder screw securely and remove
bleeder hose.

7.2 BATTERY

Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious burns can result from contact with
skin, eyes or clothing Antidote:
External: Flush with water.

lnternal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or
vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.

Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.

Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilate when
charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries.

KEER OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

WARNING: The gases given off by a battery are explosive. Any spark or open flame near a battery
can cause an explosion which will spray battery acid on anyone close to it. If battery acid gets on
anyone, wash the affected area with large quantities of cool water and seek immediate medical
attention.

Battery Maintenance
1. If the vehicle will not be used for more than one month, remove the battery, fully charge it,
and then place it in a cool, dry place. If the battery will be stored for more than two months,
check it at least once a month and fully charge it if necessar y.

CAUTION
To charge this battery, a specified battery charger is required. Using a conventional battery
charger will damage the battery.
2. Ensure to the cables are properly routed when installing the battery.

BATTERY TESTING
Whenever a service complaint is related to either the starting or charging systems, the battery
should be checked first.
Following are three tests which can easily be made on a battery to determine its condition: OCV
Test, Specific Gravity Test and Load Test.

MF (Maintenance Free) battery does not require the Specific Gravity Test and Refill

Open Circuit Voltage Test


Battery voltage should be checked with a digital multitester. Readings of 12.6 or less require
further battery testing and charging.

NOTE: Lead acid batteries should be kept at or near a full charge as possible.

CHAPTER 7 ELECTRICAL PAGE.7- 3


CHAPTER 7 ELECTRICAL T-Boss550 SERVICE MANUAL 20.0
Load test

CAUTION: Remove spark plug high tension leads and connect securely to engine ground before
proceeding.

NOTE: This test can only be performed on machines with electric starters. This test cannot be
performed with an engine or starting system that is not working properly.
A battery may indicate a full charge condition in the OCV test and the specific gravity test, but still
may not have the storage capacity necessary to properly function in the electrical system. For this
reason, a battery capacity or load test should be conducted whenever poor battery performance is
encountered. To perform this test, hook a multitester to the battery in the same manner as was
done in the OCV test. The reading should be 12.6 volts or greater. Engage the electric starter and
view the registered battery voltage while cranking the engine. Continue the test for 15 seconds.
During this cranking period, the observed voltage should not drop below 9.5 volts. If the beginning
voltage is 12.6 or higher and the cranking voltage drops below 9.5 volts during the test, replace the
battery.
