8Be sure the engine oil is at the correct lev-
el, otherwise engine damage may result.
[ECB00852]
TIPWhen 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. 6. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it
if necessary.
7. Insert the dipstick into the engine oil tank filler hole, and then tighten the engine oil tank filler
cap. NOTICE: Make sure that the engine oil
tank filler cap is securely tightened; other-
wise, oil may seep out when the engine is
running.
[ECB00363]
To change the engine oil (with or without oil fil-
ter element replacement) 1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minu- tes, and then turn it off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil. 4. Remove the crankcase engine oil filler bolt
and its O-ring, and then remove the crank-
case engine oil drain bolt and its gasket.

10. Install the crankcase engine oil drain bolt, the
engine oil tank drain bolt and their new gas-
ket, and then tighten the bolts to the specified
torques.
11. Install the crankcase engine oil filler bolt and its new O-ring, and then tighten the oil filler
bolt to the specified torque.
12. Pour only 1.3 L (1.37 US qt, 1.14 Imp.qt) of the specified amount of the recommended
engine oil through the engine oil tank filler
hole, and then install and tighten the oil tank
filler cap.
13. Start the engine, rev it several times, and then turn it off. 14. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap, and
then gradually fill the oil tank with the remain-
ing oil quantity while regularly checking the oil
level on the dipstick.
15. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it if necessary.
16. Install and tighten the engine oil tank filler cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00301In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the
engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils

EBU23545To change the coolant
WARNING
EWB01891Wait for the engine and radiator to cool before
removing the radiator cap. You could be
burned by hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure. Always place a thick rag over the cap
when opening. Allow any remaining pressure
to escape before completely removing the cap. 1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel A. (See page 8-10.)
3. Place a container under the engine, and thenremove the coolant drain bolt and its gasket. 4. Remove the radiator cap.

5. Remove the coolant reservoir cap.
6. Disconnect the coolant reservoir hose on the
coolant reservoir side, and then drain the
coolant from the coolant reservoir.
7. After draining the coolant, thoroughly flush the cooling system with clean tap water.
8. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque. 9. Connect the coolant reservoir hose.
10. Pour the recommended coolant into the res- ervoir to the maximum level mark, and then
install the reservoir cap. NOTICE: Mix anti-
freeze with distilled water only. However, if
distilled water is not available, soft water
may be used for refilling. Do not use hard
water or salt water since they are harmful
to the engine.
