With the engine idling, pull the clutch lever to dis-
engage the clutch and shift into 1st gear, and then
release the parking brake. Open the throttle grad-
ually, and at the same time, release the clutch
lever slowly. Once the ATV has attained adequate
speed, release the throttle lever and at same time,
quickly pull in the clutch lever and shift into 2nd
gear. Open the throttle part way and gradually
release the clutch. Use this same procedure as
you move into the higher gears. Be sure to coordi-
nate the use of the throttle and shift pedal proper-
ly. If the throttle is applied too abruptly or if the
throttle is not released during shifting, or if the shift
pedal is not released before applying the throttle,
the front wheels may lift off the ground resulting in
a loss of directional control. Avoid higher speeds
until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation
of your ATV.
w
Always open the throttle gradually and
release the clutch lever slowly. Otherwise,
the machine could wheelie which would
increase the chance of an accident.
