Starting a warm engine

Follow the same procedure as for starting a cold
engine, with the exception that the choke is not re-
quired when the engine is warm. Instead, start the
engine with the throttle slightly open.

Shifting

This ATV has a 3-speed forward transmission with
a centrifugal, automatic clutch. The transmission
allows you to control the amount of power you
have available at a given speed or for starting ac-
celerating, climbing, etc.
To shift into neutral, return the throttle lever to the
closed position and repeatedly depress the shift
pedal until it stops.
