ATV Operation

Basic Operating
Maneuvers
Active riding and basic maneuvers are
the foundation of your ride. Without
basic skills, it's impossible to move to
this level — active riding. These are your
basic maneuvers:
• Mounting the TRV (Operator)
• Mounting the TRV (Passenger)

• Starting the Engine

• Starting a Cold Engine
• Shifting
• Braking/Stopping
• Parking
• Dismounting the TRV
Mounting the TRV
(Operator)
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.
Mounting the TRV
(Passenger)
1. After the operator is seated and has
the brake firmly applied, with your
left hand, grasp the left shoulder of
the operator, and with your right
hand grasp the backrest; then swing

2. Get seated in a comfortable position
and keep hands firmly on the hand-
holds.
3. Always keep your feet planted on
the footrests.
Starting the Engine
Always start with the ATV on a flat, 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. Mount the ATV and sit down.
2. Engage the brake lever lock.
3. Turn on the ignition.
4. Shift into neutral.
5. Move the engine stop switch to
RUN.
6. Press the starter button.
CAUTION
Do not run the starter motor for more
than eight seconds per starting
attempt. The starter motor may over-
heat causing severe starter motor
damage. Allow 15 seconds between
starting attempts to allow the starter
motor to cool.
7. Let the engine warm up.
Another way to remember the starting
procedure is by using the acronym
"BONE-C." It stands for:
