MAINTENANCE
Oil and Filter Change
Always change the oil and filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 52. Always change the oil filter
whenever changing oil.
NOTICE: If the ATV is left without oil in the system for extended periods, the oil
pump may lose its prime, which could result in engine damage.
Always replace the oil and filter within a few hours of draining the oil.
Do not allow the vehicle to be without oil overnight.
1. Obtain the correct oil filter and an adequate supply of oil so the oil
and filter change can be completed without interruption.
2. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Clean the area around the drain plug on the bottom of the engine
crankcase.
4. Run the engine for two to three minutes until warm. Stop the engine.
5. Place a drain pan beneath the engine crankcase and remove the
drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.
CAUTION! Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to contact skin.
6. Install a new sealing washer on the drain plug. The sealing surfaces
on the drain plug and crankcase should be clean and free of burrs,
nicks or scratches.
7. Reinstall the drain plug. Torque to specification.
