TIP
If 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.

Engine oil
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Park the ATV on a level surface.
2. Wait for the engine to cool.
TIP
If the engine was started before checking the oil
level, wait 10 minutes. This will allow oil to settle
into the crankcase for an accurate reading.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and wipe the
dipstick with a clean rag.
4. Insert the dipstick into the filler hole, screw it
in, and then remove it again to check the oil
level.
