4. Installation Instructions

The SuperATV Half Windshield is designed for quick and easy installation, often arriving pre-assembled. No specialized tools are typically required.

4.1 General Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off. Clean the area where the windshield will be mounted to ensure a secure fit.
2. Position the Windshield: Carefully place the half windshield onto the roll cage of your CFMOTO ZForce. Ensure the bottom edge aligns correctly with the vehicle's body and the top lip is oriented to deflect wind upwards.
3. Secure Mounting Hardware: Attach the included straps or clamps around the roll cage and through the designated slots on the windshield. Tighten all fasteners evenly until the windshield is secure and does not move. Avoid over-tightening, which could damage the windshield or roll cage.
4. Final Check: Verify that the windshield is firmly attached and does not obstruct your view or interfere with any vehicle controls.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the SuperATV Half Windshield operates passively to enhance your riding experience.

• The windshield is designed to deflect wind, dust, and light debris away from the occupants, particularly the lower body and face, without fully enclosing the cabin.
• The upper lip of the windshield is engineered to direct airflow over the occupants' heads, reducing wind buffeting.
• Ensure the windshield remains clean for optimal visibility during operation.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and clarity of your SuperATV Half Windshield.

6.1 Cleaning

The XR Optic Hard Coating provides excellent scratch resistance, but proper cleaning techniques are still essential.

• Rinse: Always rinse the windshield thoroughly with water to remove loose dirt and mud before wiping. This prevents scratching.
• Wash: Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, brushes, or harsh chemicals (e.g., ammonia-based cleaners) as they can damage the coating.
• Dry: Gently dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth to prevent water spots.

6.2 Inspection

• Periodically inspect the windshield for any signs of damage, cracks, or excessive wear.
• Check all mounting hardware for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary to prevent movement during operation.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise with your half windshield.

7.1 Windshield Movement or Rattling

• Cause: Loose mounting hardware.
• Solution: Re-check and tighten all straps or clamps securing the windshield to the roll cage. Ensure they are snug but not overtightened.

7.2 Reduced Visibility

• Cause: Dirt, smudges, or scratches on the windshield surface.
• Solution: Clean the windshield according to the instructions in Section 6.1. If visibility is severely impaired by deep scratches, consider replacement.

7.3 Excessive Wind in Cabin

• Cause: Incorrect orientation of the windshield or specific vehicle aerodynamics.
• Solution: Ensure the top lip of the windshield is facing forward to properly deflect air. If the issue persists, consider additional cabin accessories like a full windshield or rear panel to manage airflow.
