Front Differential/Rear Drive Lubricant

The recommended lubricant for your KYMCO UTV (front dif-
ferential and rear drive when applicable) is an SAE approved
80W-90 Hypoid fluid.
Any lubricant used in place of the KYMCO recom-
mended lubricant can cause serious front differen-
tial/rear drive damage.
Front Differential
and Rear Drive Gear Lubricant
(Inspecting/Changing)
Inspect and change the gear lubricants in your UTV according
to the Maintenance Schedule. When changing the lubricant,
only use the approved SAE 80W-90 hypoid-type fluid and use
the following procedure:
1. Park your UTV on level ground
2. Remove each fluid filler plug
3. Drain the fluid into a drain pan by removing the drain plug from the
Front Differential
4. Drain the fluid into a drain pan by removing the drain plug from the
Rear Drive
Inspect the oil for any signs of metal filings or water. If
found, take your ATV to an authorized KYMCO ATV dealer
for servicing.

5. After all the fluid has been drained, reinstall the drain plugs and
tighten them securely
6. Pour recommended oil into each filler hole
NOTE: If the gear case has a level plug, add fluid up to
the threads of the level plug. If your UTV's gear case
only has a fill plug, add fluid to within 1 in. of the threads
of the fill plug.
7. Reinstall the fluid filler plugs and level plugs
Filling the Fuel Tank
See page 52 of this manual on how to unlock the fuel tank cap.
Always fill your UTV's fuel tank in a well-ventilated area.
Do not spill or overflow gasoline when filling the fuel tank.
This will greatly increase the risk of a fire hazard. Never
add gasoline to the ATV fuel tank near any open flames
or with the engine running or hot. DO NOT SMOKE while
filling the fuel tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature increases, the fuel
tank on your UTV should only be filled to its rated capacity.
Expansion room must be maintained in the tank, particularly if
the tank is filled with cold gasoline and the UTV is then moved
to a warm area.
Do not overfill the fuel tank.
