Page 34 travel a longer distance that the inside rear wheel. To make this happen, the rider must create less traction for the inside wheel, allowing it to skid. This allows it to travel a shorter distance than the outside wheel. This happens even though both wheels are still turning at the same speed.

OPERATION OF HILLS...
Page 36: Climbing A Hill
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.
Page 38: Riding Over Obstacles
Lock parking brake, after you are stopped. If you begin rolling backwards: Keep weight uphill. Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards. Apply the front brake. When fully stopped, apply rear brake as well, and then lock the parking brake. Dismount on uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill.
Page 39: Skidding Or Sliding
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.
Page 40 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.
Page 41: Riding Through Water
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.
Page 42 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: Accessory Use And Vehicle Loading
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.

TOOLS A tool kit is provided with your ATV. SPARK PLUG Your ATV is equipped with TORCH or equivalent level 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 48: Spark Plug
CAUTION 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.
Page 49: Valve Inspection
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.
