General Information
Control Locations and Functions
Ignition Switch Key
Two keys come with the ATV. Keep the spare key in a safe place.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has two positions.
OFF position — All electrical circuits are
off. The engine will not start. The key can
be removed in this position.
ON position — The ignition circuit is
complete, the engine can be started with
either hand brake compressed.
Hand Brakes
The hand brakes should be applied whenever a braking situation is
needed.
Apply the brakes by compressing the brake levers toward the handlebar.
Parking Brake
To engage and release the parking
brake, use the following procedure:
1. Rotate the parking brake lever
to the left to engage the brake.
2. Release the parking brake by
turning the lever to the right.
Check to make sure the parking
brake engages properly and that
when engaged it locks the rear wheels.
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. Attempt to push the ATV.
NOTE: The parking brake must lock the rear wheels. If it
doesn’t, the rear brake system must be serviced.
Headlights
The headlights will automatically illuminate when the engine is running.
CAUTION
Leaving the ignition switch in the ON position for a long period of
time when the engine is not running may cause the battery to dis-
charge. Always leave the ignition switch in the OFF position when
engine is not running.
! WARNING
Always verify the parking brake has been disengaged before
operating the ATV. An accident could result if the parking
brake is left engaged while the ATV is operated. The brake
may relax if left engaged for a long period of time. This could
cause an accident; therefore, do not leave the ATV on a hill
depending on the parking brake. Always block the downhill
side of the wheels if leaving the ATV on a hill or park the ATV
in a sidehill position.
