CAUTION:_

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do not
use oils with a diesel specification of “CD”
or oils of a higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

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. _
