MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Engine Oil Check
The oil dipstick (1) is located on the
left side of the engine.
NOTE: A rising oil level between
checks in cool weather driving
can indicate contaminants
such as gas or moisture
collecting in the crankcase.
If the oil level is over the
full/safe mark, change the oil immediately.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for 20-30 seconds. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Screw the dipstick completely in.
The dipstick must be screwed
completely in to ensure an accurate
reading.
5. Remove the dipstick and read the oil
level. Maintain the oil level in the normal/safe operating range (2).
Do not overfill.
Oil and Filter Change
CAUTION
If the ATV is left without oil in the system for extended periods,
the oil pump may lose its prime, which could result in engine
damage. Always replace the oil and filter within a few hours of
draining the oil. Do not allow the vehicle to be without oil
overnight.
1. Obtain the correct oil filter and an adequate supply of oil so the oil
and filter change can be completed without interruption.
2. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Clean the area around the drain plug on the bottom of the engine
crankcase.
4. Run the engine for two to three minutes until warm. Stop the
engine.
CAUTION
Hot oil can cause serious burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to
come into contact with skin.
