8Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.
8Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up
any spilled fuel immediately.
8Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
8Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.

Engine oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the specified level.
Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-13 for
details.)

cC
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain
anti-friction modifiers. Passenger car motor
oils (often labeled “Energy Conserving”)
contain anti-friction additives which will
cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage,
resulting in reduced component life and poor
engine performance.

Engine oil level measurement
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Warm up the engine for several minutes
and stop it.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it off with a
clean rag. Insert the dipstick in the filler
hole without screwing it in.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles
before checking.
4. Remove the dipstick and inspect the oil
level.
5. The oil level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks. If the level is
low, add oil to raise it to the proper level.

Be sure no foreign material enters the
crankcase.
