MAINTENANCE
Engine Oil
The proper amount and grade of
engine oil will have a great impact
on the life of the engine. Checking
the oil daily and changing the oil as
listed in the maintenance schedule
is the most important maintenance
procedure for the engine.
Checking the engine oil
1. Make sure the Mini Bike is on
level ground .
2. Check engine oil level by remov-
ing the oil fill plug/dipstick (1)
located on bottom front left front
side of the engine.
3. If engine oil is low, add oil until
oil is at edge of fill hole (2). Use the
correct grade of oil as listed in this
manual. Do not over or under fill
engine with oil, this could damage
the engine.

attempting to drain the oil. A warm
engine will help the oil drain quicker.

on the bottom of the engine.

propriate container. Note: Dispose of

the appropriate type of oil as listed in
this manual. This mini bike
takes .37qt. (.35L) of engine oil.
