MAINTENANCE
Recoil Housing
Always drain the recoil housing
after operating the vehicle in wet
conditions. Drain the housing
before storing the vehicle. Make
sure the housing is completely dry
before reinstalling the drain plug.
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the drain screw on the
bottom of the recoil housing.
4. Allow the housing to drain com-
pletely.
5. Reinstall the drain screw.
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 crank-
case drain is opened.
