MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Lubrication Recommendations
Engine Oil Check
The oil dipstick and fill tube are located on the left side of the vehicle.
1. Position the ATV on a level
surface.
2. Start the engine and let it idle
for 20-30 seconds.
3. Stop the engine and lift the
lever lock (1) on the dipstick.
Remove the dipstick and wipe
it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick completely.
NOTE: The dipstick must be
screwed completely in to keep the
angle and depth of the stick
consistent. Do not lock.
5. Remove the dipstick and
check the oil level.
Maintain the oil level in
the safe range (2),
between the full and add
marks. Do not overfill.
6. After reinstalling the dipstick, be sure to seat the lever lock.
Oil and Filter Change
The recommended oil change interval is 100 hours, 1000 miles, or
every six months, whichever comes first. Suggested break-in oil
change is at 20 hours, 200 miles, or one month, whichever comes first.
Severe use operation requires more frequent service. Severe use
includes continuous duty in dusty or wet conditions and cold weather
riding. NOTE: Severe use cold weather riding is all riding below 10°
F., and riding between 10° F and 30° F when most trips are slow speed
and less than 5 miles. Be sure to change the oil filter whenever
changing the oil.
