FILLING GAS TANK
Since gasoline expands as its temperature rises, the gas
tank must be filled to its rated capacity only. Expansion
room must be maintained in the tank particularly if the
tank is filled with cold gasoline and then moved to a
warm area.
Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.
RECOMMENDED GASOLINE
The recommended gasoline to use is 87 minimum octane
regular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to
the gasoline. Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10%
ethanol or 5% methanol are acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol-blended gasoline, it is not necessary
to add a gasoline antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the
accumulation of moisture in the fuel system.
RECOMMENDED ENGINE/
TRANSMISSION OIL
The recommended oil to use is ACX All Weather syn-
thetic which has been specifically formulated for use in
this engine. Although ACX All Weather synthetic engine
oil is the only oil recommended for use in this engine, use
of any API-certified SM 0W-40 oil is acceptable.

LUBRICANT
NOTE: Check for location of actuator on the front
differential to determine correct lubricant.
The recommended front differential (actuator on gas cap
side) lubricant is SAE-approved 80W-90 hypoid. This
lubricant meets all of the lubrication requirements of the
front differential (actuator on gas cap side).

! WARNING
Always fill the gas tank in a well-ventilated area. Never
add gasoline to the ATV gas tank near any open flames
or with the engine running. DO NOT SMOKE while filling
the gas tank.
! WARNING
Do not overflow 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 over-fill the gas tank.
CAUTION
Do not use white gas. Only approved gasoline additives
should be used.
CAUTION
Any oil used in place of the recommended oil could
cause serious engine damage. Do not use oils which
contain graphite or molybdenum additives. These oils
can adversely affect clutch operation. Also, not recom-
mended are racing, vegetable, non-detergent, and cas-
tor-based oils.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended lubri-
cant could cause serious front differential damage.
