ATV Operation
Active riding and basic maneuvers are the foundation of your ATV ride.
Without basic skills, it’s impossible to execute active riding. These are
your basic maneuvers:
Mounting the ATV
1. From the left side, grab the left-side handlebar, apply the brake, and
put your left foot on the footrest.
2. Grab the right-side handlebar.
3. Swing your leg over the seat and set your right foot down on the
right-side footrest.
4. Get seated in a comfortable position.
5. Always keep your feet planted on the footrests.
Starting the Engine
Always start with the ATV on a flat, level surface. Carbon monoxide
poisoning can kill you, so keep your ATV outside while it’s running.
Follow these steps to start it up:
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. Mount the ATV and sit down.
3. Turn on the fuel valve.
4. Turn on the ignition.
5. Shift into neutral.
6. Move the emergency stop switch to RUN.
7. Squeeze and hold either hand brake lever.
8. Press the starter button.
9. Let the engine warm up.
Emergency Starting
This ATV has an emergency kick starter to use if the electric starter
becomes inoperative. To use the starter, follow this procedure:
1. Push down on the kick starter until
resistance is felt; then with a short,
quick, downward stroke, start engine.
2. Repeat until the engine starts.
3. After making sure that the engine
is warm, apply the front brakes and
release the parking brake.
Starting a Cold Engine
NOTE: It is very important not to touch or compress the
throttle lever during the starting procedures.
1. Rotate the ignition switch key to the first position (ON).
