Filling Gas Tank
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
ATV gas tank near any open flames or
with the engine running or hot. DO
NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling
the gas tank. Care must be taken not to
overfill the tank. If overfilled, gas may
leak onto the engine creating a fire haz-
ard.
To remove and install the tank cap, use
the following procedure.
1. Turn the cap counterclockwise and
remove.
! WARNING
Do not over-flow gasoline when filling
the gas tank. A fire hazard could mate-
rialize. Always allow the engine to
cool before filling the gas tank.
2. Turn the cap clockwise to tighten the
cap securely after filling the tank;
! WARNING
Do not overfill the gas tank.

Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
ATV is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5%
methanol are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol-blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumulation
of moisture in the fuel system.
Do not use white gas. Only approved
gasoline additives should be used.
Recommended Engine Oil
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain
additives. These oils can adversely
affect clutch operation. Also, not rec-
ommended are racing, vegetable,
non-detergent, and castor-based oils.
XA054
The recommended oil to use is ACX All
Weather Synthetic engine oil, which has
been specifically formulated for use in this
engine. Although ACX All Weather Syn-
thetic engine oil is the only oil recom-
mended for use in this engine, use of any
API-certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.
