RECOIL HOUSING
S
Drain the housing periodically to remove moisture.
S
Drain the recoil housing after operating the ATV in
very wet conditions. This should also be done before
storing the ATV. The drain screw is located at the bot-
tom of the recoil housing. Remove the screw with a
10mm wrench. Reinstall screw once housing has
been drained.
S
CAUTION: Make sure the manual start handle is ful-
ly seated on the recoil housing, especially when trav-
elling in wet areas. If it is not sealed properly, water
may enter the recoil housing and damage compo-
nents.

Water will enter the recoil housing if the starter handle
is disengaged from the rope guide when under water.
S
After travelling in wet areas the recoil housing and
starter should always be drained completely by re-
moving the recoil.
S
Do not open the crankcase drain unless the engine
has ingested water. Some engine oil will be lost if
crankcase drain is opened.

If recoil handle seal has been damaged, the handle
shopuld be replaced.
