ENGINE BREAK-IN
Proper engine break-in will increase the lifespan of your Rival Motorsports vehicle. The engine break-in period is the
initial 20 hours of operation. You should avoid maintaining a constant engine RPM and do not operate your ATV above
1/2 throttle during the break-in period. Do not operate your ATV at full throttle during the break-in period.
First service, including the break-in service work should be performed at 10 hours. The
second service should be performed at the end of the 20-hour break-in period. Subsequent
service work should be performed after every 20 hours of operation.
HOT MUFFLER & ENGINE
The mufer and other engine parts become extremely hot during operation and remain hot after the engine has
stopped. To reduce the risk of re during operation or after leaving the ATV, do not let brush, grass and other materials
collect under the vehicle, near the mufer or exhaust pipe, or next to other hot parts. Check under the vehicle after
operating in areas where combustible materials may have collected. Do not idle or park the vehicle in long dry grass or
other dry ground cover.
To prevent burns, avoid touching the exhaust system. Park the ATV in a place where pedestrians or
children are not likely to touch it.
