CAUTION:
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain
anti-friction modifiers. Passenger car motor
oils (often labeled “Energy Conserving”) con-
tain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting
in reduced component life and poor engine
performance.
Oil quantity:
Total amount:
2.6 L
Periodic oil change:
1.9 L
With oil filter replacement:
2.0 L

With the engine idling, shift the drive select le-
ver into low or high. Then release the parking
brake. Apply the throttle slowly and smoothly.
The centrifugal clutch will engage and you will
start to accelerate. If the throttle is applied too
abruptly, the front wheels may lift off the
ground resulting in a loss of directional con-
trol. Avoid higher speeds until you are thor-
oughly familiar with the operation of your ATV.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. Improper use of the brakes can cause
the tires to lose traction, reducing control and
increasing the possibility of an accident.
CAUTION:
Do not shift from low to high or vice versa
without coming to a complete stop. Damage
to the engine or drive train may occur.
