Engine oil and oil filter cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and
the oil filter cartridge replaced at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the ATV on a level surface.
2. Remove panel F. (See page 8-9.)
3. Check the engine oil level on a cold engine.
TIP
If the engine was started before checking the oil
level, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently,
and then wait at least ten minutes until the oil set-
tles for an accurate reading.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap, and then
wipe the engine oil dipstick off with a clean
rag.
5. Insert the dipstick into the filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
