Driving your ATV

Your ATV should only be driven in an area that is designated for this use. Insure that the area is free of obstacles and other dangers that could cause a loss of control. Check with your local authorities for any regulations regarding the use of your ATV.

Always keep your feet on the footrests and your hands on the handle bar grips while operating your ATV. Doing so will give you the best control of the unit.

Start your ATV by following the starting procedure above and allow the engine a few minutes to warm up before releasing the parking brake.

Start the unit by slowly increasing the throttle until the unit begins moving.

Turning your ATV

Learning to turn your ATV requires you to learn to shift your weight and control the

throttle to allow the rear wheels to turn properly. When making a turn, the wheels on the outside of the turn must travel a wider radius and thus a greater distance than the inside wheels of the turn. Since the rear axle does not permit a different rate of rotation, it is not enough to merely steer your ATV into the turn.

To turn properly, steer in the direction of the turn and lean your body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. Use the throttle to maintain power throughout the turn.

If you do not use this turning technique the unit will have a tendency to continue in a straight line. If this occurs, release the throttle lever to allow the unit to stop.

Avoid braking or accelerating until you have regained directional control.

6.Remove the ignition key to prevent unauthorized use or theft of your ATV.
