PARENTS / SUPERVISING ADULT: POLARIS Youth ATVs are equipped with a speed control system, allowing adults to limit vehicle speed according to rider's skill and experience. More information on speed limiting functionality can be found on Speed Control and Throttle System. These units are not designed for adult use. Serious vehicle damage may occur if maximum rider weight capacity is exceeded. See the vehicle specifications section for your ATV’s weight capacity.

YOUNG OPERATORS: Before riding your new POLARIS ATV, there are important things you need to know. Safety is the most important thing to think about at all times. As the driver of the ATV, you must learn how to keep yourself, and those around you, safe while you ride.

Before an adult starts the engine for you for the first time, let's learn about the controls on your new ATV.

• 1 Engine Stop Switch: When the engine is running, press the right-side of the switch to shut the engine off quickly. Before restarting, press the left-side of the switch to the engine start position.

• 2 Horn: Press the horn button to sound the horn.

• 3 Throttle Control: Press the throttle lever with your thumb when you want your ATV to move forward. Always be sure the throttle control does not stick before you drive your ATV. Read more about this on Pre-Ride Check.

• 4 Foot Brake: The foot brake is on the right side of the ATV. Read about how to use the foot brake on Brakes.

  WARNING

  Never apply the foot brake without also squeezing the hand brake. Using the foot brake alone could cause you to lose control of the ATV and be seriously injured. Always take your thumb off the throttle when engaging brakes.

5 Gas Cap: The gas cap must be removed when an adult puts gas in your ATV. Never take off the gas cap. Make sure it is closed tightly.

6 Seat: Remove seat by pulling firmly upward on back edge of the seat. Slide seat backward to detach front tab from the chassis. Replace seat by re-inserting the front tab into the chassis and pressing firmly down on the back of the seat to secure the grommets. Ensure seat is properly locked in place before riding.

7 Hand Brake Lever: Squeeze the brake lever toward the handlebar to slow down or stop the ATV.

8 Tether Cord and Switch - The tether cord must always be clipped to your person and to the ATV every time you drive. If you fall off your ATV, the tether cord will pull away from the switch and the engine will stop.

9 Ignition Switch - Use the ignition switch to start your vehicle. The brake lever must be engaged in order to start the engine. You can also use this key to turn off the engine.

Let’s review the three ways to stop the engine of your ATV.

1. Press the right side of the engine stop switch.

2. Pull the tether cord off the ATV.

3. Turn the key off.

We’re almost ready to have an adult start your ATV. But before the ATV is started for the first time, you must do a Pre-Ride Check. In fact, every time you want to ride you must have an adult help you check some things on your ATV before starting it. Let’s learn about these things now.

1. Make sure the throttle doesn’t stick. Check this by pushing the throttle lever toward the handlebar and then letting go. The lever should come right back to where it was before you pushed it. If it comes back slowly or stays close to the handlebar, the ATV has a sticky throttle. This means that something is wrong or broken and must be fixed before you can ride your ATV safely.

1. Make sure the brakes don’t stick. Check the brake lever by squeezing it toward the handlebar and then letting go. It should come right back to where it were before you squeezed. If it goes back slowly or stays close to the handlebar, your ATV has sticky brakes. The brakes must be fixed before you can ride your ATV safely.

1. Have an adult check to see if your ATV needs more gas. Children must never fill gasoline. It must always be done by an adult. Before gas is added to your ATV, have an adult read the instructions and warnings on Safety Warnings.

1. Make sure seat is secure. If you used the storage area under the seat, make sure the seat is secured in place.

2. Check the oil. Have an adult check the oil level when the engine is cold. If the engine has been running, it is hot and can burn your skin, if touched. Children must never check the oil alone. An adult is responsible for keeping gas and oil levels at full marks.

3. Check all engine stop methods. Perform this last check with the engine running. Verify all three ways to shut off the engine of your ATV are working properly. Do you remember what they are? If you can’t remember the three ways to stop the engine, go back to the Know Your ATV section and review. Have an adult help you start the engine. Practice stopping the engine all three ways.

Now you’re ready to learn about riding your POLARIS ATV. There are some things you can do and some things you must never do. Rules are very important when you’re driving an ATV. Adults have riding rules, too. Rules help keep us safe when we ride.

The throttle lever is located on the right handlebar. Press the throttle lever 1 toward the handlebar to increase engine speed and vehicle movement. Engine speed returns to idle when the lever is released.

This ATV is equipped with a throttle release switch, which is designed to reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck throttle. If the throttle cable should stick in an open position when the operator releases the lever, engine speed will be limited to idle speed.

Hand Brake

The hand brake lever 1 controls both front and rear brakes. Squeeze the brake handle toward the handlebar to apply the front brakes.

Foot Brake

The foot brake 2 controls the rear brakes only. Step down on the brake pedal to apply rear brakes.

WARNING

Applying only the foot brake could cause loss of control and result in serious injury or death. If using the foot brake, apply both brake levers at the same time.

Polaris Youth ATVs are not equipped with lights designed for driving in the dark. Do not operate this ATV after dark. Use caution and drive at reduced speeds in conditions of reduced visibility. This ATV is designed for off-road use only. Do not operate this ATV on streets or highways.

1 Check Engine: A flashing light indicates an overheated engine. The system will automatically reduce engine power. A solid light indicates an EFI-related fault has occurred. Do not operate the ATV if light is on. Serious engine damage could result. Your POLARIS dealer or other qualified technician can assist.

Gas Cap

The fuel tank filler cap 1 is located directly below the handlebars.

NOTICE

This ATV is not equipped with a low fuel indicator light. The fuel indicator gauge is located on top of the fuel cap. Always check fuel indicator to ensure proper levels before riding.

Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump octane number of 87=(R+ M/2) octane. Non-ethanol fuel is recommended.

Do not use fuel with ethanol content greater than 10 percent, such as E-85 fuel.

Refer to the Specifications chapter for fuel tank capacity.

Unleaded Gasoline

Minimum 87 Octane Rating

The break-in period for your new Polaris vehicle is defined as the first ten hours of operation, or the time it takes to use the first two full tanks of gasoline.

No single action on your part is as important as a proper break-in period. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components. Perform the following procedures carefully.

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline. Never allow a child to handle gasoline.

2. Check the oil level. See Oil Check. Add the recommended oil as needed to maintain the oil level in the safe operating range.

3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with operation and handling.

4. Vary throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See Pre-Ride Inspection.

1. Complete the recommended safety training before operating this vehicle. See Safety Training.

2. Do not allow anyone under age 6 to operate the vehicle.

3. Never carry a passenger on this ATV.

4. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous. Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Never allow a child to handle gasoline.

5. Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle. When determining the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator, accessories and loads on the racks (if equipped). The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum weight capacity.

6. Ride this vehicle only in areas permitted by a supervising adult. Never operate the vehicle on pavement or on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and gravel roads.

7. Drive in a manner appropriate for your skills and operating conditions. Never operate at excessive speeds. DO NOT attempt to do power slides, “donuts”, jumps or other driving stunts. Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times.

8. Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.

9. Always use the size and type of tires specified for your vehicle. Always maintain proper tire pressure.

10. Never operate a damaged vehicle. After any rollover or accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for possible damage.

11. Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water.

12. Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust system.

2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up.

3. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.

4. Slowly press the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.

5. Drive slowly at first. Practice turning and using the throttle and brakes on level surfaces.

Your ATV is equipped with a solid rear axle, which drives both rear wheels equally at all times. This means that the wheel on the outside of the turn must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.

To turn, steer in the direction of the turn, leaning your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly.

Practice making turns at slow speeds.

Braking and handling are greatly affected when operating in hilly terrain. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:

1. Drive straight uphill.

2. Avoid steep hills (15° maximum).

3. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill.

4. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.

5. Keep both feet on the footrests.

6. Shift body weight uphill.

7. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Opening the throttle suddenly could cause the ATV to flip over backwards.

8. 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.

9. Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may include quick dismounting of the vehicle.

Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely necessary.

If crossing a sidehill is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Slow down.

2. Lean into the hill, transferring your upper body weight uphill while keeping your feet on the footrests.

3. If the vehicle begins to slide or tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:

1. Avoid steep hills (15° maximum).

2. Shift body weight uphill. Transfer your weight to the rear of the vehicle.

3. Drive straight downhill.

4. Slow down. Excessive speed when traveling downhill can cause loss of control.

5. Apply the brakes very slightly to aid in slowing.

If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! Use the K-turn to turn around.

1. Stop the vehicle and lock the parking brake while keeping body weight uphill.

2. Shut off the engine.

3. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill.

4. Staying uphill of the ATV, turn the handlebars full left.

1. While holding the brake, release the parking brake lock and slowly release the brake, allowing the ATV to roll around to your right until it’s pointing across the hill or slightly downward.

2. Lock the parking brake and remount the ATV from the uphill side, keeping body weight uphill.

3. Restart the engine and squeeze the brake lever.

4. Release the parking brake and drive slowly, controlling speed with the brake, until the ATV is on more level ground.

Avoid parking on a hill or incline if possible. If it’s unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Stop the engine.

2. Lock the parking brake.

3. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side as shown in the illustration.

Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel, or during freezing weather, follow these precautions:

1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.

2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.

3. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.

4. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.

Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:

1. Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.

2. Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be constantly alert for hazards such as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.

3. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not all obstacles are immediately visible.

4. Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees.

Your ATV can safely operate through shallow water. The recommended maximum depth for your ATV is below the bottom of the footrests. Follow these precautions when operating through water:

1. Determine water depth and current before entering water.

2. If crossing a stream, choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.

3. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.

4. After driving through water, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the levers (while moving) until braking action is normal. If you do not perform this procedure, your brakes may be ineffective.

The OUTLAW 70 is equipped with a rear rack designed to carry small loads. Read and follow all instructions for hauling cargo on the following pages.

Do not modify the engine, intake or exhaust components, as doing so may affect compliance with U.S.A. EPA noise control requirements (40 CFR 205) and local noise level requirements.

Your vehicle has a spark arrester that was tested and qualified to be in accordance with the USFS standard 5100-1a. Federal law requires that this spark arrester be installed and functional when the vehicle is operated on public lands.

Operation of off-road vehicles on public lands in the U.S.A. is regulated by 43 CFR 420. Violations are subject to monetary penalties. Federal regulations can be viewed online at https://ecfr.federalregister.gov/current/title-43/subtitle-B/chapter-I/part-420.

This engine is equipped with a closed crankcase system. Blow-by gases are forced back to the combustion chamber by the intake system. All exhaust gases exit through the exhaust system.

Exhaust emissions are controlled by engine design. An electronic fuel injection (EFI) system controls fuel delivery. The engine and EFI components are set at the factory for optimal performance and are not adjustable.

The emissions label is located on the inside of the front lower left frame tube (near the bottom of the front left wheel well).

This spark ignition system complies with Canadian ICES-002.

   Always tie the frame of the ATV to the transporting unit securely with suitable straps or rope. The rack, bumper or handlebars do not offer enough support for tie-down while transporting. For high-speed trailering, it is recommended to remove the safety flag.

1. Secure the front tie strap to the frame tubes using S-hooks. Do not attach to the plastic bumper.

2. Secure the rear tie strap to the ATV by attaching an S-hook to the slot on each axle bearing.

POLARIS Industries Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340 (POLARIS) gives a SIX MONTH LIMITED WARRANTY on all components of your POLARIS vehicle against defects in material or workmanship. Laws and regulations in your jurisdiction may give extra protection. POLARIS further warrants that the spark arrester in this product will meet the efficiency requirements of USFS standard 5100-1C for at least 1000 hours when subjected to normal use and when maintenance and installation are in accordance with POLARIS recommendations.

This warranty covers parts and labor charges for repair or replacement of defective parts and begins on the date of purchase by the original retail purchaser.

This emissions limited warranty is in addition to the POLARIS standard limited warranty for your vehicle. POLARIS Industries Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this emissions-certified vehicle is designed, built and equipped so it conforms with applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission regulations. POLARIS warrants that the vehicle is free from defects in materials and workmanship that would cause it to fail to meet these regulations.

The warranty period for off road vehicles 100cc or greater emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 500 hours of engine operation, 5000 kilometers (3100 miles) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. The warranty period for ATVs less than 100cc emissions-certified vehicles starts on the date of purchase by original retail purchaser and continues for a period of 250 hours of engine operation, 2500 kilometers (1550 miles) of vehicle travel, or 30 calendar months from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. This EPA emissions warranty period is extended for at least as long as the standard factory warranty that Polaris provides on the vehicle as a whole. The EPA emissions warranty period does not further extend if you purchase additional warranty coverage in the form of a service contract or other paid warranty extension, but emission-related parts may be covered subject to the terms of any such paid service contract or paid warranty extension.

This emissions limited warranty covers components whose failure increases the vehicle's regulated emissions, and it covers components of systems whose only purpose is to control emissions. Repairing or replacing other components not covered by this warranty is the responsibility of the vehicle owner. This emissions limited warranty does not cover components whose failure does not increase the vehicle's regulated emissions.

For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:

• Air-induction system

• Fuel system

• Ignition system

• Exhaust gas recirculation systems

The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions:

• Aftertreatment devices

• Crankcase ventilation valves

• Sensors

• Electronic control units

The following parts are considered emission-related components for evaporative emissions:

• Fuel Tank

• Fuel Cap

• Fuel Line

• Fuel Line Fittings

• Clamps*

• Pressure Relief Valves*

• Control Valves*

• Control Solenoids*

• Electronic Controls*

• Vacuum Control Diaphragms*

• Control Cables*

• Control Linkages*

• Purge Valves

• Vapor Hoses

• Liquid/Vapor Separator

• Carbon Canister

• Canister Mounting Brackets

• EFI Purge Port Connector

*As related to the evaporative emission control system.

Emission-related components also include any other part whose only purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure will increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/equipment performance. The exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty shall be, at the exclusive option of POLARIS, repair or replacement of any defective materials, components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE. THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAMAGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD DESCRIBED HEREIN. POLARIS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WARRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply if it is inconsistent with the controlling state law.

This limited warranty excludes failures not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This limited warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, abuse or improper handling, maintenance or use. This limited warranty also does not cover any engine that has been structurally altered, or when the vehicle has been used in racing competition. This limited warranty also does not cover physical damage, corrosion or defects caused by fire, explosions or other similar causes beyond the control of POLARIS.

Owners are responsible for performing the scheduled maintenance identified in the owner's manual. POLARIS may deny warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which POLARIS has no responsibility, or by acts of God.

Any qualified repair shop or person may maintain, replace, or repair the emission control devices or systems on your vehicle. An authorized POLARIS dealer, or other qualified person, can perform any service that may be necessary for your vehicle. POLARIS also recommends POLARIS parts, however equivalent parts may be used for such service. It is a potential violation of the Clean Air Act if a part supplied by an aftermarket parts manufacturer reduces the effectiveness of the vehicle's emission controls. Tampering with emission controls is prohibited by federal law.

Certain POLARIS Off-Road Vehicles are available in 49-state and 50-state versions. Only the 50-state models are certified for sale in California. The 50-state models available for sale in California are identified by the letter “B” in the ninth position of the model number (e.g., R16RTE87B). The POLARIS 50-state models are designed and built with features such as a reduced cargo box capacity. Any modifications to these features may be a violation of the applicable California regulations and may void this limited emissions warranty offered by the manufacturer.

POLARIS Inc. warrants that at the time it is first purchased, this vehicle is:

1. Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform, at the time of sale, with all applicable California evaporative emissions regulations.

2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that may cause the failure of a warranted part as defined in California evaporative emissions regulations. All replacement parts must be identical in all material respects to that part as described in the OHRV manufacturer's Executive Order of Certification application.

The California evaporative emissions control system limited warranty statement below applies to your Off Highway Recreational Vehicle in California if the vehicle is equipped with an evaporative emission control system and is labeled with a Vehicle Evaporative Emissions Control Information label indicating that the vehicle conforms to California evaporative emissions regulations applicable to new off-road sport vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, or off-road utility vehicles. These vehicles are referred to as “OHRV-EVAP” below.

HOW THE CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTY ON EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS PARTS MUST FUNCTION AS PRESCRIBED IN 13 CCR §2419.1

(1) Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as part of maintenance in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the warranty period. If any such part fails during the warranty period, it must be repaired or replaced by POLARIS according to subdivision (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be fully warranted.

(2) Any warranted part which is scheduled only for regular inspection in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the warranty period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” must not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

(3) Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as part of maintenance in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement point, the part must be repaired or replaced by POLARIS according to subdivision (4). Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this Article must be performed at no charge to the OHRV owner, at a warranty station, except in the case of a temporary repair when a warranted part or a warranty station is not reasonably available to the OHRV owner. In the event a temporary repair is permitted according to subdivision (8) below, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part. POLARIS must reimburse the owner for his or her expenses including diagnostic charges for such temporary repair or replacement, not to exceed POLARIS' suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on the POLARIS recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (4) above, warranty services or repairs must be provided at all POLARIS dealerships that are owned by POLARIS or franchised to service the subject OHRVs.

(6) The OHRV owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is, in fact, defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.

(7) POLARIS is liable for damages to other vehicle components proximately caused by a failure, under warranty, of any warranted part.

(8) Throughout the OHRV's evaporative emissions warranty period, POLARIS must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts. The lack of availability of such parts or the incompleteness of repairs within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 30 days from the time the OHRV is initially presented to the warranty station for repair, will qualify the need for a temporary repair for purposes of subdivision (4).

(9) Any replacement part designated by POLARIS may be used in warranty repairs provided without charge to the OHRV owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of POLARIS, except that POLARIS will not be liable under the provisions of this Article for repair or replacement of any replacement part which is not a warranted part (except as provided under subdivision (d)(7)).

(10) Any add-on or modified part exempted by the Air Resources Board from the prohibitions of section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code may be used on an OHRV. Such use, in and of itself, will not be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made under the provisions of this Article. POLARIS is not liable under the provisions of this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-on or modified part(s) unless such part(s) are also warranted.

(11) Upon a request of the Executive Officer, POLARIS must provide any documents that describe the manufacturer's warranty procedures or policies.

(12) Any replacement part must not reduce the effectiveness of the OHRV emission control system. POLARIS must demonstrate that the applicable emission standards are being met when the replacement part(s) are installed on the OHRV. The demonstration of equivalence to applicable emission standards can be achieved through replacing the part(s) with the evaporative emissions control components the OHRV evaporative family was certified with; or, if unavailable, alternative parts may be installed if POLARIS can provide test data to verify the evaporative control system meets, at least, the OHRV EFEL.

EXCLUSION

Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions (1) - (12) above, the repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for the California Warranty on Evaporative Emission Parts, is excluded from such warranty coverage if POLARIS can provide evidence to the California Air Resources Board Executive Officer, to the Executive Officer's satisfaction, that the OHRV has been abused, neglected, improperly maintained, or had unapproved modifications and that such abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modification, was the direct cause of the need for the repair or replacement of the part.
