Hardware Maintenance; Before You Ride - Pulse Performance Products ATV QUAD Owner's Manual

Hardware Maintenance

Brake
Check the brakes for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake should provide positive braking action. When you apply the brake with
the throttle engaged, the brake cut off switch should stop the motor. Make sure that the brakes are not rubbing when the lever is not being applied.
Frame, Fork and Handlebars
Check for cracks or broken connections. Although broken frames are rare, it is possible for aggressive rider to run into a curb or wall and bend or
break a frame. Get in the habit of inspecting your quad on a regular basis.
Tires
Periodically inspect the wheels for excess wear.
Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow pads and knee pads are recommended. Always wear athletic
shoes (lace up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor
and drive system.
Battery
Make sure the power switch is turned off whenever the quad is not in use. Never store the product in freezing or below freezing
temperatures! Freezing will permanently damage the battery.

Before You Ride

Before you ride always check and for the following:
Safety Gear
Always wear proper protective gear such as:
• Approved safety helmet. (Helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area.)
• Elbow pads and knees pads
• Long sleeved shirt, long pants
• Gloves
• Lace up shoes with rubber soles.
Brake
Check the brakes for proper function. When lever is squeezed it should slow/stop the rear wheel without excessive effort. When you apply the
brake with the throttle on, the brake cut off switch should stop the motor. Make sure that the brakes are not rubbing when the lever is not being
squeezed. Do not ride the quad if the brakes are not functioning properly; refer to page 8 for proper brake adjustment.
Throttle
Make sure that before throttle is twisted that you are in an open and safe area to ride, you are balanced on the quad and have both hands
on the handlebar controls.
Tires
Inspect the wheels for excess wear and replace if necessary.
Frame, Fork and Components
Always carefully inspect your quad before you ride. Check for cracks, broken worn or loose components which should be repaired or
replaced before you ride.
Battery
Always make sure the power switch is in the "off" position whenever the quad is not in use. Never store the product in freezing or below
freezing temperatures. These low temperatures will permanently damage the battery.
WARNING:
Always ensure that you are in a safe open area to ride before you engage the throttle. Never twist the throttle without
being on the quad in a balanced, ready to ride position with both hands on the handlebar controls.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage your quad and void your warranty.
