- This vehicle has been designed to go through water no deeper than 35 cm. Do not use the vehicle in fast moving water; carefully read the instructions regarding this type of terrain. Take into account that braking efficiency is diminished when the brakes are wet. When coming out of the water, brake several times so that they dry more quickly by friction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The vehicle leaves the factory with some elements not fitted, in order to make transportation easier. The dealer will make sure each element is correctly fitted and you will receive the QUAD ready for use. Thus, this paragraph is purely for your information. A carburettor-adjustment kit is included;...

LIGHTS THE MAIN PARTS OF THE QUAD NOTE IGNITION KEY The headlights and rear lights will only work when the ignition key is in the ON position. The ignition lock (A) is located on the front part of the handlebars. To turn the ignition ON, turn the key clockwise to the "ON"...
Indicators (F) are located in the lower part of the same left hand side grip. Note that pushing the switch to the right turns on the right indicator, and to the left to operate the left indicator. On the same group we will find the horn button (G). DISTRESS LIGHTS The button is located on the front part of the vehicle (F), in front of the handlebars.
STEERING LOCK FRONT BRAKE LEVER As its name suggests, this mechanism allows us to lock the steering. The front brake lever (A) is located on the right side of the handlebars. Operate it to apply the front-wheel brakes. The handlebars should be turned fully to the left, then the key inserted in the lock (A).
SHIFT PEDAL SEAT The machine is fitted with a 5-speed gear box. The gearchange To remove the seat, pull the closing tab of the seat (A) and raise it. pedal (E) is on the left side of the engine and is used with the clutch Then pull in the same direction when shifting gear.
- Initial charge current = 0.1 – 0.5 Cn FRONT GUARD - Charge duration = 6 hours minimum / 24 hours maximum. 3.2. Constant power charge mode. The front guard juts out from the QUAD assembly. In case of a frontal - Maximum charge current = 0.1 Cn collision, the protection, attached directly to the frame, will absorb - Recommended charge time = 5 - 8 hours.
VERIFICATIONS TO BE MADE BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNING Always inspect the QUAD before use, to ensure it is safe to operate without any danger. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and programs described in this manual. Failure to inspect the machine increases the risk of accident or breakdown.
To open the fuel tank cap, pull upwards on the tab and then insert one of the two red keys that came with the GAS GAS quad.. Rotate to the right and pull on the cap with the key still in place, as shown in the above image.
COOLING SYSTEM Check the cooling liquid level in the reservoir (A) with the cold engine (the liquid level will vary with engine temperature). The level is correct Radiator hose when it is between the two marks. If it falls below the lower mark, add antifreeze.
THROTTLE GRIP Recomended Minimum Check the throttle grip for correct operation. It must accelerate Rear 0,400 bar/ 40 Kpa 0,370 bar/ 37 Kpa 0,430 bar/ 43 Kpa smoothly and return to the idle position when released. If necessary, Front 0,450 - 0,500 bar/ 0,420 - 0,470 bar/ 0,480 - 0,530 bar/ service the grip and grease the moving parts so that it works correctly.
USING THE QUAD WARNING WARNING - Always use the parking brake before you start the engine. QUAD might start move off unexpectedly if the brake is not on. This could Read the User's Manual carefully so as to become familiar with all lead to a loss of control or to a collision.

These attempts transmission may be damaged. should be as short as possible, in order to preserve the battery charge 2.- As we have already explained, the clutch must be activated to engage the first gear from neutral, then press on the shift pedal,...
WARNING Make sure the engine’s revs are low enough to change into a lower gear. If the revs are too high when changing into a lower gear, the wheels may stop spinning rapidly enough. This might lead to loss of control, with an accident or injury risk. It can also damage the engine and transmission.
WARNING The kick-starter must NEVER be operated when the reverse gear is engaged. PARKING ON SLOPES WARNING Avoid parking on hills or inclined terrain, as the QUAD may move by itself, with corresponding risk of accident. If it is necessary to park on a hill, engage the first gear, apply the parking brake and block the front and rear wheels with rocks or other objects.
DRIVING THE QUAD. Practical considerations WARNING Never carry a passenger. Carrying a passenger could lead to an BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR QUAD accident with the consequent injury risk for the driver and/or passenger.
