MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
Oil Level
Access the oil dipstick and fill tube
from the left side of the ATV.
A rising oil level between checks in
cool weather driving can indicate
contaminants such as gas or
moisture 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.
