MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Recoil Housing
Drain the recoil housing
after operating the vehicle
in very wet conditions.
This should also be done
before storing the vehicle.
The drain screw is located
at the bottom of the recoil
housing. Remove the screw
with a 10mm wrench.
Reinstall screw once
housing has been drained.
Water will enter the recoil
housing if the starter handle
is disengaged from the rope
guide when under water.
After travelling in wet areas the recoil housing and starter should
always be drained completely by removing the recoil.
Do not open the crankcase drain unless the engine has ingested water.
On 4-cycle engines, some engine oil will be lost if crankcase drain is
opened.
