WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating in areas where you might not be
seen by other off-road vehicles.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You could be in a collision. You could be in-
jured.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always mount a caution flag on the ATV to
make you more visible. Watch carefully for
other vehicles.
Do not ride in areas posted "no trespassing".
Do not ride on private property without getting per-
mission.
Select a large, flat area off-road 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 procedures,
and turning techniques in this area before trying
more difficult terrain. Always avoid riding on paved
surfaces: the ATV is designed for off-road use
only, and handling maneuvers are more difficult to
perform on pavement.
Set the parking brake and follow the instruction on
page 6-1 to start the engine. Once it has warmed
up you are ready to begin riding your ATV. As you
get on the ATV, be sure not to accidentally move
the shift pedal. Remember that the engine and ex-
haust pipe will be hot when riding and afterwards;
