Recoil Housing

S Drain the housing periodically to remove moisture.

S Drain the recoil housing after operating the ATV in

very wet conditions. This should also be done before

storing the ATV. The drain screw is located at the bot-

tom of the recoil housing. Remove the screw with a

10mm wrench. Reinstall screw once housing has

been drained.

S CAUTION: Make sure the manual start handle is ful-

ly seated on the recoil housing, especially when trav-

elling in wet areas. If it is not sealed properly, water

may enter the recoil housing and damage compo-

S Water will enter the recoil housing if the starter handle

is disengaged from the rope guide when under water.

S After travelling in wet areas the recoil housing and

starter should always be drained completely by re-

moving the recoil.

S Do not open the crankcase drain unless the engine

has ingested water. On 4-cycle engines, some en-

gine oil will be lost if crankcase drain is opened.

S On the Trail Blazer, the recoil handle must be be-

hind the heat shield for it to seal properly. If it is not

sealed properly, water may enter the recoil housing

and damage components.
