turning the bowl counter clockwise. Remove
the old filter by pulling down on the filter to
disengage the pressure fitting from the mount.
Install the new filter by pressing up until the
filter snaps in place over the mount and re
install the filter bowl by turning clockwise until
it is hand tight. Turn the fuel valve to the “PRI’
position to fill the filter bowl with fuel and
check for leaks.
Return the fuel valve to the normal “ON”
operating position.
Inspect the fuel lines running from the tank to
the fuel valve and the line running from the
valve to the carburetor. Replace any line that
shows signs of wear or cracking and any line
that is leaking fuel.
DO NOT start or operate the engine if the fuel
filter or lines are leaking. Leaking fuel can
cause a fire.
Engine Oil
Checking the engine oil level
Your ATV uses an automotive type engine oil
to lubricate and cool the engine. It is
important to maintain a proper oil level to
prevent damage and/or failure of the engine.
The engine oil dip stick is located on the
right side of the unit and can be accessed
through the cutout in the footrest side guard.
To check the oil level remove the dipstick by
turning counter clockwise until it is
completely free of the engine case. The level
of oil can be gauged by the level indicated
on the dipstick. The level should be
maintained between the low and high
indicators on the dipstick. If the oil level is
low add enough additional oil, SAE 10W-30,
to return the level to a safe position. DO
NOT over fill the engine oil level as this can
cause engine damage or failure.
Always check your engine oil level with the
engine off and in a cool state. Checking the
oil level while the engine is hot can give a
false reading. Removing the Oil level dipstick
with the engine running may allow hot
engine oil to splash from the crankcase
causing burns.
The engines oil capacity is 1.2 Liters / 1.2
Quarts. E-TON recommends an automotive
oil grade of SAE 10W-30 be used.
Oil Level Warning indicator
The unit is also equipped with an oil level
indicator located in the lower left hand corner
digital console display. The lamp will light when
the oil level in the engine is low. When the lamp
is lit you MUST STOP the engine and refill the
engine oil reserve to a safe level.
DO NOT allow the engine to operate with an
empty oil tank. Doing so will result in
extensive damage to your engine. This
damage is not covered under the warranty.
Check the engine oil level before each riding
session and at each refueling operation.
