LIQUIDS

While reading this Operator's Guide, remember that:
Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: This section specifies the recom-
mended liquids and procedures to check their
levels. Refer to MAINTENANCE for proce-
dures to replace the liquids.

Fuel

Recommended Fuel

Use regular unleaded gasoline or gasohol
containing less than 10% of ethanol or meth-
anol, available from most service stations.
The gasoline used must have an octane num-
ber of 87 (R + M)/2 (91 RON) or higher.
CAUTION: Never experiment with other fu-
els. The use of unrecommended fuel can re-
sult in vehicle performance deterioration and
damage to critical parts in the fuel system and
engine components.
CAUTION: Never mix oil with fuel. This ATV
has a 4-stroke engine. Oil must be added to
engine base only.
WARNING

Fuel Level

Always stop engine before refueling. Open
cap slowly. If a differential pressure condi-
tion is noticed (whistling sound heard when
loosening fuel tank cap) have vehicle in-
spected and/or repaired before further op-
eration. Fuel is flammable and explosive
under certain conditions. Never use an
open flame to check fuel level. Never
smoke or allow flame or spark in vicinity.
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Nev-
er top up the fuel tank before placing the
vehicle in a warm area. As temperature in-
creases, fuel expands and may overflow.
Always wipe off any fuel or oil spillage from
the vehicle.

Engine/Transmission Oil

Recommended Oil

Use 4-stroke engine oil that meets or exceeds
the requirements for API service classification
SG, SH or SJ. Always check the API service
label on the oil container to be sure it includes
the letters SG, SH or SJ. Only use high-quality
high-detergent oil.
NOTE: The same oil lubricates both engine
and transmission. For improved overall per-
formance and wear protection use XP-S
5W40 synthetic 4-stroke oil (P/N 293 600
039).
