MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Recoil Housing

Water will enter the recoil housing if

the starter handle is disengaged from

the rope or if the handle is not

securely seated when under water.
Drain the recoil housing any time the

vehicle has been operated in very wet

conditions and also before storage.
The drain screw (1) is located at the

bottom of the recoil housing, above

the front propshaft. Remove the

screw with a 10 mm wrench.

Reinstall the screw after the housing

has been drained.

NOTE: Do not open the crankcase drain (2) unless the engine has

ingested water. Some engine oil will be lost if crankcase

drain is opened.
