Starting the Engine
Always start with the ATV on a fl at, level surface. Carbon monoxide
poisoning can kill you, so keep your ATV outside while it's running.
Follow these steps to start it up:
1. Ensure that the fuel valve is in the ON position.
2. Climb up onto the ATV and sit down.
3. Compress the hand brake; then engage the brake lever lock.
4. Shift the transmission into neutral.
5. Turn on the ignition.
6. Press the starter button.
7. Let the engine warm up.
Another way to remember the starting procedure is by using the acro-
nym „BONE-C." It stands for:
