Operation of Your ATV
Break-In Period
The break-in period for your new ATV is very important. Careful treatment of a new engine at the beginning of
ownership will result in more ecient performance and longer life. Perform the following procedures carefully:
1. Select an open area that allows room to familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.
2. Place the ATV on a level surface.
3. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline.
4. Check the engine oil level. Add the recommended oil if necessary to maintain the oil level between the
minimum and maximum indicators on the dipstick.
5. Position yourself in the operating position on the vehicle and start the engine. Allow the engine to idle for
a short period before operating.
6. Press the foot brake, select the desired gear, and then release the foot brake.
7. Apply throttle. Drive slowly at rst, varying throttle positions not more than ½ throttle for 10 hours or 100
miles, then another 10 hours or 100 miles of not more than ¾ throttle (whichever interval arrives rst). Do
not operate at sustained idle or sustained wide open throttle.
8. Do pull or carry any loads during the break-in period.
9. At the end of the break-in period, change the oil and lter (20hrs or 200 miles/320km).
