LIQUIDS
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.
This section specifies the recom-
mended liquids and procedures to
check their levels. Refer to MAINTE-
NANCE for procedures to replace the
liquids.
Fuel
Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline or gas-
ohol containing less than 10% of eth-
anol or methanol, available from most
service stations. The gasoline used
must have an octane number of 87
((R + M)/2) or higher.
NOTE: In most service station, pump
o c t a n e n u m b e r co r r e sp o n d s t o
(R + M)/2 octane number. Usually a
sticker can be found on the pump.
CAUTION: Never experiment with
other fuels. The use of unrecom-
mended fuel can result in vehicle
performance deterioration and dam-
age to critical parts in the fuel sys-
tem and engine components.
CAUTION: Never mix oil with fuel.
This ATV has a 4-stroke engine. Oil
must be added to engine base only.
Fuel Level
WARNING
Never top up the fuel tank before
placing the vehicle in a warm area.
As temperature increases, fuel ex-
pands and may overflow. Fuel is
flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Always wipe
off any fuel or oil spillage from the
vehicle.
WARNING
Engine/Transmission Oil
Recommended Oil
Always use 4-stroke mineral-based
engine oil that meets or exceeds the re-
quirements for API service classifica-
tion SF, SG or SH. Always check the API
service label on the oil container to be
sure it includes the letters SF, SG or SH.
Only use high-quality high-detergent oil.
NOTE: The same oil lubricates both
engine and transmission. Do not use
synthetic or semi-synthetic oil. They
affect the clutching calibration.
CAUTION: For proper operation of
the clutching system, do not use
special oil additives. Do not use un-
recommended types of oil.
Oil Viscosity
SAE 10W40 is recommended for gen-
eral use.
Other viscosity should be used if the
average temperature is outside the
range of the recommended oil. See
chart below.
