MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Recoil Housing
Drain the recoil housing after operating the ATV in very wet
conditions. This should also be done before storing the ATV. The
drain screw is located at the bottom of t he recoil housing. Using a
wrench, remove the screw. Reinstall screw once housing has been
drained.
Water will enter the recoil
housing if the starter
handle is disengaged from
the rope guide when
under water.
After travelling in wet
areas the recoil housing
and starter should always
be drained completely by
removing the recoil.
Do not open the crankcase
drain unless the engine
has ingested water. On
4-cycle engines, some
engine oil will be lost if
crankcase drain is opened.
On the Trail Blazer, the
recoil handle must be
behind the heat shield
for it to seal properly. If it
is not sealed properly,
water may enter the recoil
housing and damage
components.
