MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Recoil Housing
To prevent possible engine damage,
always drain the recoil housing (1) after
operating the ATV in very wet conditions.
This should also be done before storing
the ATV.
NOTE: Water will enter the recoil
housing if the starter handle is disengaged
from the rope guide when under water.
The drain screw is located at the bottom of
the recoil housing. Use a wrench to
remove the screw. Be sure to reinstall the screw after draining the
housing.
NOTE: Do not open the crankcase drain unless the engine has
ingested water. Some engine oil will be lost if the crankcase drain is
opened.
