WARNING!
You could collide with another vehicle if operating in off-road areas where you cannot easily
be seen. Mount a caution flag on the ATV to make you more visible. Watch carefully for
other vehicles.
CAUTION!
Do not shift from low gear to high gear without a complete stop. Damage to the engine or
drive train may occur.
Do not operate on rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and practiced the skills
necessary to control the ATV on such terrain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of
terrain.
When riding in an area where you might not easily be seen such as desert terrain, mount a caution
flag on the ATV. DO NOT use the flagpole bracket as a trailer hitch.
Do not ride in areas posted “no trespassing”.
Do not ride on private property without getting permission.
Select a large and flat area off-road to become familiar with your ATV. Make sure that this area is
free of obstacles and other riders. You should practice control of the throttle, brakes, shifting
procedures and turning techniques in this area before trying more difficult terrain.
Shift to the park position and follow the instruction to start the engine. Once it has warmed up you
are ready to begin riding your ATV. With the engine idling, shift the drive select lever into the low
gear position or high gear position. Apply the throttle slowly and smoothly.
If the throttle is applied too abruptly, the front wheels may lift off the ground, resulting in a loss of
directional control. Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with operation of your
ATV.
When slowing down or stopping, release the throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and evenly.
Improper use of the brakes can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing control and increasing the
possibility of an accident.
WARNING!
The ATV could go out of control if you do not have enough time to react to hidden rocks,
bumps or holes. Go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain.
Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating the ATV.
WARNING!
Failure to use extra care when operating on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain could
cause loss of traction or ATV control which could result in an accident, including an overturn.
