Practicing - KYMCO MXU 150 Owner's Manual

PRACTICING

Select a flat area to become familiar with your
ATV. Make sure that this area is free of
obstacles and other riders. You should practice
control of the throttle, brakes, shifting before
trying more difficult terrain.
Always avoid riding on rough surfaces: the ATV
is designed for on-road use only, and handling
maneuvers are more difficult to perform on
rough surfaces .
Set the parking brake and follow the instruction
on page 75~79 to start the engine. Once it has
warmed up you are ready to begin riding your
ATV. Remember that the engine and exhaust
pipe will be hot when riding and afterwards; do
not allow skin or clothing to come in contact with
these components.
With the engine idling, return the starter knob to
the closed position and shift the drive select
lever into the forward position. Then release the
parking brake. Apply the throttle slowly and you
will start to accelerate. If the throttle is applied
too abruptly, 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.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. Improper use of the brakes can cause
the tires to lose traction, reducing control and
increasing the possibility of an accident.
