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 particularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and then
moved to a warm area.
Allow the engine to cool before filling the gas tank. Care must be taken
not to overfill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leak onto the engine creat-
ing 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 gasolines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5% methanol are
acceptable gasolines.
When using ethanol-blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gaso-
line antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisture
in the fuel system.
Recommended Engine Oil
The recommended oil to use is ACX
All Weather Synthetic engine oil,
which has been specifically formu-
lated 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.
! 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 or hot. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the gas
tank.
! WARNING
Do not overfill or over-flow gasoline when filling the gas tank.
A fire hazard could materialize. Always allow the engine to
cool before filling 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 graph-
ite or molybdenum additives. These oils can adversely affect
clutch operation. Also, not recommended are racing, vegeta-
ble, non-detergent, and castor-based oils.
