Recommended Transmission Lubricant
NOTE: The manufacturer recommends the use of genuine
lubricants.
The recommended transmission lubricant to use is SAE 80W-90 hypoid.
Engine Break-In
New ATVs and renewed ATV engines require a “break-in” period. The
first month is most critical to the life of this ATV. Proper operation
during this break-in period will help ensure maximum life and perfor-
mance from the ATV.
During the first 3 hours of operation, always use less than ½ throttle.
Varying the engine RPM during the break-in period allows the compo-
nents to “load” (aiding the engine component mating process) and then
“unload” (allowing components to cool). Although it is essential to
place some stress on the engine components during break-in, care
should be taken not to overload the engine too often.
When the engine starts, allow it to warm up properly. Idle the engine
several minutes until the engine has reached normal operating tempera-
ture. Do not idle the engine for excessively long periods of time.
Maintenance after break-in should include checking of all prescribed
adjustments and tightening of all fasteners. At the discretion and
expense of the owner/operator, the ATV may be taken to an authorized
dealer for this initial service.
CAUTION
Any lubricant used in place of the recommended one could
cause serious transmission damage.
