ENGINE OIL LEVEL
The engine has a wet-sump design, meaning the engine
oil is contained in the bottom of the crankcase. To check
the oil level follow the procedure listed below:
Access the oil dipstick and oil fill cap by tilting the rear
cargo box.
FLUID CAPACITY
Recommended Engine Oil:
Synthetic 4–Cycle
Ambient Temp Range: -35° F to 100° F
Capacity:
2 Quarts (1.9 L)
1. Remove all cargo from the cargo box.
CAUTION
Always remove all cargo from the cargo box before
lifting the box to access the engine.
2. Position the vehicle on a level surface and place the
transmission in PARK.
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool down before
removing the dipstick.
4. Turn on ignition and press dump box switch to raise
the box. Turn off ignition.
5. From the right side of the vehicle, unlock the dipstick.
Remove the dipstick and wipe it dry with a clean
cloth.
6. Reinstall the dipstick and screw it into place.
NOTE
The dipstick must be screwed completely in to ensure
accurate measurement.
7. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
8. Add the recommended oil as necessary to bring the
oil level within the SAFE range on dipstick. Do not
overfill (see NOTE below).
NOTE
A rising oil level between checks during cold weather
operation can indicate contaminants such as gas or
moisture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil level is
over the upper mark, change the oil immediately.
9. If necessary, add engine oil through the oil fill cap
located on top of the valve cover.
