Engine Oil and Screen

NOTE: Refer to the recommended
oil viscosity chart (on page 51) in
this manual for the proper engine oil.
Change the engine oil and clean the oil
screen at the scheduled intervals. The
engine should always be warm when the
oil is changed so the oil will drain easily
and completely.
1. Park the ATV on level ground.
2. Loosen the oil fill plug. Be careful
not to allow contaminates to enter
the opening.
3. Remove the screen/filter cap from
the bottom of the crankcase. Drain
the oil into a drain pan.
CAUTION
When the cap is removed, a com-
pression spring, screen/filter, and an
O-ring will fall into the drain pan.
Take care to account for these com-
ponents.
4. Using a brush and parts-cleaning
solvent, clean the screen/filter; then
clean the cap and inspect the O-ring.
