CHECKING & ADDING OIL
NOTICE
Allow the engine oil to circulate in the engine for
2 – 3 minutes before riding at start up. This will
give enough time for the oil to lubricate all critical
engine components. Failure to do so, will cause
engine damage.
NOTICE
If the oil filter and cap are not installed correctly,
it will cause serious engine damage.
NOTICE
Improper disposal of drained fluids is harmful to
the environment.
NOTICE
Do Not dispose of drained oil in an appropriate
manner. Most parts stores or auto shops do take
used oil.
, wipe it clean, and insert it
