MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Recoil Housing
To prevent possible engine damage, always drain the recoil housing
after operating the ATV in very wet conditions. This should also be
done before storing t he ATV.
Water will enter the recoil housing if the starter handle is disengaged
from the rope guide when under water. NOTE: On the Trail Blazer
250, the recoil handle must be behind the heat shield for it to seal
properly.
The drain screw is located at the bottom of the recoil housing. Use a
wrench to remove the screw. Be sure to reinstall the screw after
draining the housing.
NOTE: Do not open the crankcase drain unless the engine has
ingested water. On 4-cycle engines, some engine oil will be lost if
crankcase drain is opened.
