Starting Procedure

The following procedure must be followed
each time you start your unit.
Park the unit on a level surface and lock the
parking brake.
1. Turn the fuel valve to the "ON" position.
2. Turn the engine stop switch to the
"ON" position.
3. Set the carburetor choke to closed,
"ON", position by pushing the choke
lever up fully.
4. Apply slight pressure to the throttle
lever.
5. Pull the starter handle sharply on the
left-handle bar.
Your unit should start within 1 or 2 pulls of the
starter handle. If the unit fails to start check
the following.
1. Engine stop switch is "ON".
2. Parking Brake Locked "ON".
3. Tether switch is fully inserted.
4. If you used the remote switch to stop
the unit you must press the run button
to reset the receiver stop switch.
Driving your ATV
Your ATV should only be driven in an area that
is designated for this use. Insure that the area is
free of obstacles and other dangers that could
cause a loss of control. Check with your local
authorities for any regulations regarding the use
of your ATV.
Always keep your feet on the footrests and your
hands on the handle bar grips while operating
your ATV. Doing so will give you the best control
of the unit.
Start your ATV by following the starting
procedure above and allow the engine a few
minutes to warm up before releasing the parking
brake.
Start the unit by slowly increasing the throttle
until the unit begins moving.
Turning your ATV
Learning to turn your ATV requires you to learn
to shift your weight and control the throttle to
allow the rear wheels to turn properly. When
making a turn, the wheels on the outside of the
turn must travel a wider radius and thus a
greater distance than the inside wheels of the
turn. Since the rear axle does not permit a
different rate of rotation, it is not enough to
merely steer your ATV into the turn.
To turn properly, steer in the direction of the turn
and lean your body to the inside of the turn while
supporting your weight on the outer footrest. Use
the throttle to maintain power throughout the turn.
If you do not use this turning technique the unit
will have a tendency to continue in a straight line.
If this occurs, release the throttle lever to allow
the unit to stop.
Avoid braking or accelerating until you have
regained directional control.
