MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
Oil Level
Access the oil dipstick and fill tube
from the left side of the ATV.
Tip: A rising oil level between checks in
cool weather driving can indicate
contaminants such as gas or mois-
ture collecting in the crankcase. If
the oil level is over the full/safe
mark, change the oil immediately.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Start the engine. Allow it to idle
for 20-30 seconds. Stop the
engine.
3. Remove the dipstick. Wipe it
dry with a clean cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick
completely.
5. Remove the dipstick and check
the oil level. Maintain the oil
level in the safe range. Do not
overfill.
6. Reinstall the dipstick securely.
