MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Oil and Filter Change CAUTION 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. Always replace the oil and filter within a few hours of draining the oil. Do not allow the vehicle to be without oil overnight. 1. Obtain the correct oil filter and an adequate supply of oil so the oil and filter change can be completed without interruption. 2. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 3. Clean the area around the drain plug on the bottom of the engine crankcase. 4. Run the engine for two to three minutes until warm. Stop the engine. CAUTION Hot oil can cause serious burns to skin. Do not allow hot oil to come into contact with skin. 5. Place a drain pan beneath the engine crankcase and remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely. 6. Install a new sealing washer on the drain plug. NOTE: The sealing surfaces on the drain plug and crankcase should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches. 72
