Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and
the oil filter cartridge replaced at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up until the engine
oil has reached a normal temperature of
60°C, let it continue to idle for twenty to thirty
seconds. During this period, rev the engine
two or three times to approximately
3,000 r/min, and then turn the engine off.NOTE:_ To achieve the proper engine oil temperature for
an accurate oil level reading, the engine must
have first completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to normal
operating temperature. _

3. Wait a few minutes until the oil settles, re-
move the engine oil tank filler cap, wipe the
dipstick clean with a clean rag, insert it back
into the filler hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the oil level.NOTE:_ The engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. _4. If the engine oil is below the minimum level
mark, add sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level.NOTE:_ When adding oil, be careful not to overfill the en-
gine oil tank; the oil level rises faster starting from
the half-level-portion on the dipstick. _5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.
