MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Recoil Housing
To prevent possible engine damage,
always drain the recoil housing (1)
after operating the ATV in very wet
conditions. This should also be
done before storing the ATV.
Water will enter the recoil housing
if the starter handle is disengaged
from the rope guide when under
water.
The drain screw is located at the
bottom of the recoil housing. Use a
wrench to remove the screw. Be sure to reinstall the screw after
draining the housing.
NOTE: Do not open the crankcase drain unless the engine has
ingested water. On 4-cycle engines, some engine oil will be
lost if the crankcase drain is opened.
