MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Oil and Filter Change
The suggested break-in oil change should be performed after one hour of operation, or after
the first tank of fuel, whichever comes first. Perform the next oil and filter changes every
10 hours or every six months, whichever comes first.
Severe use operation requires more frequent service. Severe use includes continuous duty
in dusty or wet conditions and operating in very cold or very hot weather. Severe use cold
weather riding is all riding below 10° F. (--12° C.), and riding between 10° F. and 40° F
(--12° and 4° C.) when most trips are slow speed and less than 5 miles.
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. Do not allow the vehicle to be without oil
and filter overnight. Always replace the oil and filter within a few hours of draining the oil.
