OPERATING THE ATV

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Frozen control cables in cold weather.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

You may not be able to control the ATV, which could lead to an

accident or a collision.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

When riding in cold weather, always make sure all control

cables work smoothly before riding the ATV.

 NOTE: Check the battery voltage if the ambient air

temperature is below 0O F (-18OC). If the voltage is

below 12.5 V DC the engine may not electric-start.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

1. Set the parking brake and unlock the steering (take steering

lock key out).

2. Turn the ignition switch to "ON".

3. Shift the drive model select lever into N (neutral)

4. Apply the brake and start the engine by pressing the starter

button.

 NOTE: If the engine fails to start, release the starter

button, then press the starter button again. Keep each

starting attempt as brief as possible to pre- serve

battery energy. Do not crank the engine over for more

than ten seconds during each starting attempt.

 NOTE: If the battery becomes discharged from the

starting attempt, recharge it completely and test that it

is at full capacity before trying to start the ATV again.

 NOTE: Check the spark plug condition if the ATV fails to

start. A weak battery may be depleted faster in cold

weather and cause weak ignition spark. This could cause

gasoline to foul the spark plug at which point it would

need to be replaced. Recharge the battery if you have to

replace a gasoline-fouled spark plug.

To avoid damage to the ATV's electronic fuel injection

system and wiring, do not remove or install a battery wire

when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
