2022 Hisun Sector Engine oil strainer maintenance

[Roadstar515]

I was browsing through the service manual and saw that the engine oil strainer is scheduled to be cleaned at the 20 hour mark. I’m wondering where is this located and is it different from the oil filter which I’m assuming it is. Just can’t find it on the machine. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

On my 2021 Axis 500 UTV, (similar to Hisun 500), the oil strainer was under the oil drain plug, along with a spring which surprised me when they came flying out when I removed the plug.

Hey Curt, that makes total sense for it to be in that location. Why they use a strainer and not a magnetic drain plug, you got me. Glad to finally get the answer and be aware of what’s going to happen when I remove the plug. Still don’t understand the strainer reasoning but at least I know.

Thanks, Rick
