BRAKE SYSTEM BREAK-IN
Apply only moderate braking force for the first 50 stops. Aggressive or overly
forceful braking when the brake system is new could damage brake pads and
rotors.
PVT BREAK-IN (CLUTCHES/BELT)
A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and
better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower
speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid
aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the PVT intake and outlet duct and
from the clutch and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST
Failure to inspect and verify that the ATV is in safe operating condition before
operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect the ATV before each
use to make sure it's in safe operating condition.
