Checking maintenance items when the engine is running could be hazardous.
You could be severely injured if your hands or clothing get caught in moving ATV parts.
Shut the engine off when performing maintenance checks, except checking the engine stop
switch and throttle.
BREAK-IN
The first month is the most important in the life of your vehicle. Proper operation
during this break-in period will be helpful for assuring maximum life and performance of
your new vehicle. The following guidelines explain proper break-in procedures.
Maximum Throttle Opening Recommendation
During the first 10 hours of operation, you should always use less than ½throttle
opening.
Vary the Engine Rotating Speed Vary the engine rotating speed during the break-in period.
This allows the parts to “load” and then “unload” (allowing the parts to cool). Although it is
essential to place some stress on the engine components during break-in, you must be
careful not to load the engine too much.
Avoid Constant Low Rotating Speed Operating the engine at constant low rotating speed
(light load) can cause parts to glaze and not seal properly. Allow the engine to accelerate
freely without exceeding the maximum throttle limit.
Allow the Engine Oil to Circulate Before Riding Allow a few minutes of idling time after warm
or cold engine starting. This allows the lubricating oil to reach all critical engine
components.
