Observe your initial and most critical service. The initial service (break-in maintenance) is the most important service that your vehicle will receive. Observing a proper break-in operation, will help engine components seal properly. Maintenance required as part of the initial service includes proper adjustments, tightening of all bolts & nuts, and replacement of dirty oil.
SAFETY GEAR A DOT approved motorcycle helmet is the most important part of your safety gear. A DOT approved motorcycle helmet can help prevent a serious head injury. Choose a helmet that fits snugly. Motorcycle dealers can help in selecting a good quality helmet which fits properly.
BASIC MOVEMENT AND SHIFTING STARTING THE ENGINE Before attempting to start the engine, make sure to follow these steps. 1. Insert the ignition key and turn it to the “ON” position. 2. Turn the fuel valve to “ON”. 3. Place the engine stop switch in the “RUN” position. 4.
TURNING Turning improperly ATV could go out of control, causing a collision or overturn. Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in the owner’s manual. Practice turning at low speed before attempting to turn at faster speed. Do not turn at excessive speed.
Page 34
To turn the ATV, the rider must use the proper technique. Because this vehicle has a solid rear axle, both rear wheels always turn at the same speed. This means that if the rear wheels are getting equal traction, the vehicle will tend to move straight ahead. This is because the rear wheels will travel the same distance.
To climb a hill with the ATV, follow the directions below. 1. Speed up and maintain a steady speed before reaching the top of the hill. Remember that you must ride at a steady speed all the way to the top of the hill. 2.
Page 37
To ride down a hill with the ATV, follow the instructions below. 1. Check the terrain carefully for any obstacles before you go down the hill. 2. Point the ATV straight down the hill. 3. Transfer your body to the rear by sliding back on the seat. 4.
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill. Could result in ATV overturning. Use proper gear and maintain steady speed when climbing a hill. If you lose all forward speed: Keep weight uphill. Apply brakes. Lock parking brake, after you are stopped. If you begin rolling backwards: Keep weight uphill.
Page 39
Skidding or sliding improperly. You may lose control of this ATV. You may also regain traction unexpectedly, which may cause the ATV to overturn. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.
SKIDDING OR SLIDING You may experience skidding or sliding when you are not braking. You may be able to overcome it by using the techniques listed below. If your front wheel skids: Gain front wheel traction by reducing the throttle opening and leaning your body slightly forward.
RIDING THROUGH WATER You can ride the ATV through shallow water. Make sure it is not more than 10cm (4 inches) deep and is not moving fast. Choose a good place to cross before you ride through the water. Look for a spot where the banks are gently sloped on both sides and the bottom of the stream is hard.
RIDING IN COLD WEATHER Pre-ride Inspection Check that the throttle and all control levers move freely. Make sure that the footrests are free of ice or snow. Move the ATV forward and backward to check that the wheels roll freely. If you cannot move the ATV, the tires may be frozen to the ground, or the brakes may be frozen to the wheels.
DRESSING FOR COLD WEATHER RIDING Riding in cold weather can be hazardous. At a temperature of 10°F (-12°C), the wind chill created by going just 10 mph (16km/h) makes you as cold as if you were standing still at a temperature of -9°F (-23°C). At this temperature, exposed flesh will freeze in just a few minutes.
Page 44
Practice riding your ATV in an open snow- or ice-covered area, at slow speeds, before handling out on snow- or ice-covered trails. Learn how your ATV responds to steering and braking on the type of terrain you will encounter on your ride. Your eyes may be sensitive to sunlight when you ride over snow or ice on a bright, sunny day.
ACCESSORY USE AND VEHICLE LOADING There are many types of accessories for sale. However, we cannot have direct control over their quality or suitability. We cannot test each accessory that is available. If you add the wrong accessories or misuse the vehicle with some accessories installed, it can make the ATV less safe to ride.

TOOLS A tool kit is provided with your ATV. SPARK PLUG Your ATV is equipped with TORCH spark plug. To determine if the standard spark plug is in good condition, check the color of the plug’s center electrode insulator after vehicle operation.
Page 49
To maintain a proper functioning spark plug, keep the plug free of carbon. Remove carbon from the plug with a wire or pin, and adjust the gap to 0.6~0.8mm for good ignition. Use a thickness gauge to check the gap.
VALVE INSPECTION REFER TO MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL FOR VALVE ADJUSTMENT INSPECTION INTERVALS. Valve clearance should be: Intake: 0.03-0.06 mm Exhaust: 0.03-0.06mm The engine will make excess noise if the gap is too large in air valve. If gap is too small valve operation will be hindered which could result in valve malfunction and failure.

AIR CLEANER The air cleaner element must be kept clean to provide good engine power. If you use your vehicle under normal, low-tension conditions, you should service the air cleaner at the intervals specified. If you ride in dusty, wet, or muddy conditions, you will need to inspect the air cleaner element much more frequently.
Page 60
REMOVAL The air cleaner accumulates dust and must be cleaned periodically. If the ATV is ridden in dusty areas, the air cleaner must be cleaned at more frequent intervals than specified in the Maintenance Schedule. If the ATV is submerged in water, the air cleaner should be checked and water should be drained from the air cleaner housing before starting the engine.
Page 61
b c d e f g Air cleaner WASHING THE ELEMENT 1. Gently wash the air cleaner in clean, non-flammable (high flash point) solvent such as kerosene-not gasoline. Allow the air cleaner to dry thoroughly before applying oil. A wet air cleaner will not fully absorb the oil. NOTE: The element should be wet but not dripping.
DRIVE CHAIN The condition and adjustment of the drive chain should be checked before riding. Always follow the guidelines below for inspecting and servicing the chain. Failing to maintain the chain properly before each riding could be hazardous. Riding with the chain in poor condition could lead to an accident.

Page 68
measured or adjusted when the tires are cold. Cold Tire Air Pressure Front 9±1 psi (62±7 kpa) Rear 9±1 psi (62±7 kpa) Overfilling the air to the tires could be hazardous. If you put too much air into the tire, may burst, and causing severe injury. Check the air pressure from time to time while inflating the tire gradually, until the specified air pressure is obtained.
Page 69
Using tires that have been installed incorrectly could be hazardous. The ATV may have unusual handling if the tires are installed incorrectly. The tires are intended to rotate in a specific direction, as indicated by the arrows on the sidewall of each tire. Install tires correctly so they rotate in the proper direction.
BRAKES The ATV has two front drum brakes and a rear disk brake. FRONT BRAKE ADJUSTMENT Try to move the vehicle backward and forward when the brake is applied. If the front wheels can turn, adjust the brake to lock the wheels securely. Measure the amount of free play needed to lock the brake lever, as shown in above, if necessary.
REAR DISC BRAKE After any adjustment of the brake, check again to make sure the front wheels cannot turn when the brake is applied. Rear Disk Brake Inspect the disk brake for leakage. If the brake fluid leaks, the safety of riding could be affected. Inspect the brake hose for cracks, and the joint for leakage.
Failure to use proper brake fluid can be hazardous. The use of any fluid except DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed container can damage the brake system and lead to an accident. Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed container. Never use or mix with different types of brake fluid.
