Pre-Ride Check - Polaris Sportsman 90 Safety And Maintenance Manual

PRE RIDE CHECK
You are almost ready to have an adult start your ATV. Before the ATV is started
for the first time, you must do a PRE-RIDE CHECK. In fact, every time you ride
your ATV you must have an adult help you check these things before starting
it. Let's learn about these things now.
Make sure the throttle doesn't stick. Check this by pushing the lever toward
the handlebar and then letting go. The lever should come right back to where
it was before you pushed it. If it comes back slowly or stays open, you have
a sticky throttle. This means that something is wrong or broken.
If you have a sticky throttle, do not start the engine. You could get hurt if
you ride when you have a sticky throttle. Have an adult or your Polaris Deal-
er fix the throttle.
