the foundation of your ATV ride. Without
basic skills, it's impossible to move to
this level— active riding. These are your
basic maneuvers:

• Dismounting the ATV
Mounting the ATV
1. From the left side, grab the left-side
handlebar, apply the brake, and put
your left foot on the footrest.
2. Grab the right-side handlebar.
3. Swing your leg over the seat and set
your right foot down on the right-
side footrest.
4. Get seated in a comfortable position.
5. Always keep your feet planted on
the footrests.
Starting the Engine

surface. Carbon monoxide poisoning can
kill you, so keep your ATV outside while
it's running. Follow these steps to start it

overheat causing severe starter
motor damage. Allow 15 seconds
between starting attempts to allow
the starter motor to cool.
