MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Recoil Housing
Drain the recoil housing
after operating t he vehicle
in very wet conditions.
This should also be done
before storing the vehicle.
The drain screw is located
at the bottom of the recoil
housing. Remove the screw
with a 10mm wrench.
Reinstall screw once
housing has been drained.
Water will enter the recoil
housing if the starter handle
is disengaged from the rope
guide when under water.
After travelling i n wet areas the recoil housing and starter should
always be drained completely by removing the recoil.
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.
