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 t o 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.
