MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Lubrication Recommendations
Engine Oil
Oil Check (ATP 500)
The oil tank is located on the left side
of the vehicle.
1. Position the ATV on a level
surface.
2. Start the engine and let it idle for
20-30 seconds. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the dipstick (1) and wipe
it dry with a clean cloth.
4. Screw the dipstick completely in.
NOTE: The dipstick must be screwed completely in to keep the
angle and depth of the stick consistent.
5. Remove the dipstick and
read the oil level.
Maintain the oil level in
the normal operating
range (2). Do not overfill.
Oil and Filter Change (ATP 500)
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. Clean the area around the
drain plug at the bottom of the oil tank and the bottom of the
engine.
3. Run the engine for two to three minutes, then turn it off.
CAUTION
Hot oil can cause serious burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to
come into contact with skin.
