Engine oil and oil filter element
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed
and the oil filter element cleaned at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine for several minutes,
and then turn it off.
3. Wait at least ten minutes until the oil level
settles before checking.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then
wipe the dipstick off with a clean rag. In-
sert the dipstick in the filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it again
to check the oil level.
NOTE:
_
●
Be sure to wait at least ten minutes until
the oil level settles before checking.
●
The oil level should be between the mini-
mum and maximum level marks.

5. If the engine oil is at or below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to the cor-
rect level.
CAUTION:
_
Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

6. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole,
and then tighten the engine oil filler cap.
