MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Oil Level
The oil dipstick and fill tube (1) is located on the engine and is
accessible on the left side of the ATV.
1. Position the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for
20-30 seconds, then stop the
engine.
3. Lift the lever lock (2) to remove
the dipstick. Wipe it dry with a
clean cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick completely,
but do not lock it. The dipstick
must be inserted completely in to
keep the angle and depth of the
stick consistent.
5. Remove the dipstick
and check the oil level.
Maintain the oil level
in the safe range (3).
Do not overfill.
NOTE: Due to the dipstick entry
angle into the
crankcase, the oil level
will read higher on the
bottom side of the
dipstick. Always read
the level on the upper
surface (4) of the dipstick.
6. After reinstalling the dipstick, be
sure to seat the lever lock.
