Maintenance
Engine Oil Change
Always change the oil at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning
on page 87. Change the oil more frequently on vehicles subjected to severe use.
IMPORTANT : Perform the initial break-in oil change after the first three hours of operation. Always
change both oil filters and clean the oil screens whenever changing oil.
Before beginning the oil change procedure, read through the entire procedure. Be prepared to
complete the procedure entirely. Do not allow the vehicle to be without oil and filter over-
night. Always replace the oil and filters within a few hours of draining the 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.
