MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
Oil Level (800 EFI)
Access the oil dipstick and fill tube
from the left side of the ATV.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Lift the lever lock to remove
the dipstick. Wipe it dry with a
clean cloth.
3. Reinstall the dipstick com-
pletely, but do not lock it. The
dipstick must be inserted com-
pletely to keep the angle and
depth of the stick consistent.
4. Remove the dipstick and check
the oil level. Maintain the oil
level in the safe range. Do not
overfill.
Tip: Due to the dipstick entry angle into
the crankcase, the oil level will
read higher on the bottom side of
the dipstick. Always read the level
on the upper surface of the dip-
stick.
5. After reinstalling the dipstick,
seat the lever lock.
