Gasoline-Oil-Lubricant
Filling Gas Tank
Since gasoline expands as its temperature
increases, the gas tank must be filled to
its rated capacity only. Expansion room
must be maintained in the tank particu-
larly if the tank is filled with cold gaso-
line and then moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling the
gas tank. Care must be taken not to over-
fill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leak
onto the engine creating a fire hazard.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after
filling the tank.
Recommended Gasoline
The recommended gasoline to use in this
ATV is 87 minimum octane regular
unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are
added to the gasoline. Oxygenated gaso-
lines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5%
methane are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol blended gasoline, it is
not necessary to add a gasoline antifreeze
since ethanol will prevent the accumula-
tion of moisture in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine/
Transmission Oil
The recommended oil to use is ACX All
Weather synthetic engine oil, which has
been specifically formulated for use in
this engine. Although ACX All Weather
synthetic engine oil is the only oil recom-
mended for use in this engine, use of any
API certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.

Lubricant
NOTE: The manufacturer recom-
mends the use of genuine lubricants.
The recommended lubricant (front differ-
ential and rear drive) is SAE approved
80W-90 hypoid. This lubricant meets all
of the lubrication requirements of this
ATV.
! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-venti-
lated area. Never add gasoline to the
ATV gas tank near any open flames or
with the engine running or hot. DO
NOT SMOKE while filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not over-flow gasoline when filling
the gas tank. A fire hazard could
materialize. Always allow the engine
to cool before filling the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not overfill the gas tank.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only approved
gasoline additives should be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recom-
mended oil could cause serious
engine damage. Do not use oils
which contain graphite or molybde-
num additives. These oils can
adversely affect clutch operation.
Also, not recommended are racing,
vegetable, non-detergent, and castor-
based oils.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the rec-
ommended lubricant could cause seri-
ous front differential/rear drive damage.
