Engine Oil Check NOTE: MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 1 The oil dipstick (1) is located on the left side of the engine. 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. 2. 3. 4. Position the ATV on a level surface. Start the engine and let it idle for 20-30 seconds. Stop the engine. Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Screw the dipstick completely in. The dipstick must be screwed completely in to ensure an accurate reading. 2 5. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level. Maintain the oil level in the normal/safe operating range (2). Do not overfill. Oil and Filter Change CAUTION If the ATV is left without oil in the system for extended periods, the oil pump may lose its prime, which could result in engine damage. Always replace the oil and filter within a few hours of draining the oil. Do not allow the vehicle to be without oil overnight. 1. Obtain the correct oil filter and an adequate supply of oil so the oil and filter change can be completed without interruption. 2. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 3. Clean the area around the drain plug on the bottom of the engine crankcase. 4. Run the engine for two to three minutes until warm. Stop the engine. CAUTION Hot oil can cause serious burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to come into contact with skin. 75
