ENGINE OIL

Long engine life depends much on
the selection of a quality oil and the
periodic changing of the oil. Daily oil
level checks and periodic changes
are two of the most important mainte-
nance items to be performed.
Engine Oil Level Check
Follow the procedure below to inspect
the engine oil level.
1. Start the engine and run it for a

2. Stop the engine and wait three
minutes.

3. Check the engine oil level with the
engine oil dipstick. The dipstick
comes out together with the oil
filler cap as shown. The level on
the dipstick should be between "L"
(Low) and "F" (Full) lines.
The oil level inspection should be per-
formed under the following conditions:
• Park the vehicle on level ground.
• The oil filler cap threads are not
run in but touching the filler hole
upper edge.
CAUTION
Operating the vehicle with an
incorrect amount of oil can dam-
age your ATV.
Too little or too much oil can dam-
age your engine.
Place the ATV on level ground.
Check the oil level with the engine
oil dipstick before each use of the
vehicle. Be sure the engine oil
level is always above the "L" (low)
line and not higher than the "F"
(full) line.
