EBU29573Owner’s Manual and tool kitBe sure to always keep the Owner’s Manual, the
tool kit and the low-pressure tire gauge with the
vehicle. Make sure to protect the Owner’s Manual
by putting it in the plastic bag, then by placing the
bag in the document pouch.
The information included in this manual and the
tools provided in the tool kit are intended to assist
you in the performance of preventive maintenanceand minor repairs. However, additional tools such
as a torque wrench are necessary to perform cer-
tain maintenance work correctly.
TIPIf you do not have the tools or experience required
for a particular job, have a Yamaha dealer perform
it for you.

EBU38130Checking the spark plugThe spark plug is an important engine component,
which is easy to check. Since heat and deposits
will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, the
spark plug should be removed and checked in ac-
cordance with the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart. In addition, the condition of the spark
plug can reveal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug1. Remove panels A, C, and E. (See page 8-9.)
2. Remove the spark plug cap. 3. Remove the spark plug as shown, with the
spark plug wrench included in the owner’s
tool kit.
Tightening torques:
Panel bolt:4.0 N·m (0.40 kgf·m, 3.0 lb·ft)
Footboard nut: 4.0 N·m (0.40 kgf·m, 3.0 lb·ft)

To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing
the spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However,
the spark plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible. 3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Install the panels.
EBU2746CEngine oil and oil filter cartridgeThe 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 level1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.TIPIf the engine was started before checking the oil
level, warm up the engine, and then wait at least
10 minutes until the oil settles for an accurate
reading. 3. Remove the access cover by turning it coun- terclockwise.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:13 N·m (1.3 kgf·m, 9.6 lb·ft)

TIPAn oil filter wrench is available at a nearby Yamaha
dealer. 8. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the O-ring ofthe new oil filter cartridge.
TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly seated. 9. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil fil-ter wrench, and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.

10. Install panel F.
11. Install the engine oil drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the spec-
ified torque. 12. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil, and then insert the dip-
stick completely into the oil filler hole.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00301In 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 CONSERV-
ING II” or higher.

Recommended oil: See page 10-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.00 L (2.11 US qt, 1.76 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.10 L (2.22 US qt, 1.85 Imp.qt)

4. Check the gaskets for damage, and replace
them if necessary.
5. Install the oil level check bolt, the oil filler bolt and their gasket, and then tighten the bolts to
the specified torques. To change the final gear oil
1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the final gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt, the final gear oil level check bolt, the final gear oil drain
bolt and their gasket to drain the oil from the
final gear case.
4. Install the drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
