Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious in-
jury or death.
NOTE:
This section specifies the rec-
ommended liquids and procedures to
check their levels. Refer to MAINTE-
NANCE for procedures to replace the

Fuel

Recommended Fuel
Use regular unleaded gasoline or
gasohol containing less than 10%
of ethanol or methanol, available from
most service stations. The gasoline
used must have an octane number of
87 ((R + M)/2) or higher.
NOTE:
In most service stations,
pump octane number corresponds to
(R + M)/2 octane number. Usually a
sticker can be found on the pump.
CAUTION:
Never experiment with
other fuels. The use of unrecom-
mended fuel can result in vehi-
cle performance deterioration and
damage to critical parts in the fuel
system and engine components.
CAUTION:
Never mix oil with fuel.
This ATV has a 4-stroke engine. Oil
must be added to engine base only.

WARNING
Fuel Level
Always stop engine before refu-
eling. Open cap slowly. If a dif-
ferential pressure condition is no-
ticed (whistling sound heard when
loosening fuel tank cap) have ve-
hicle inspected and/or repaired
before further operation. Fuel is
flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Never use an
open flame to check fuel level.
Never smoke or allow flame or
spark in vicinity. Always work in
a well-ventilated area. Never top
off the fuel tank before placing the
vehicle in a warm area. As tem-
perature increases, fuel expands
and may overflow. Always wipe
off any fuel or oil spillage from the
vehicle.

Engine/Transmission Oil

Recommended Oil
Use 4-stroke mineral-based engine oil
that meets or exceeds the require-
ments for API service classification
SG, SH or SJ. Always check the API
service label on the oil container to be
sure it includes the letters SG, SH or
SJ. Only use high-quality high-deter-
gent oil.
