ATV Operation

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
• Varying Temperature Adjustments
• 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 your leg over the seat and

set your right foot down on the

right-side footrest.

2. Get seated in a comfortable posi-

tion and keep hands firmly on the

handholds.

3. Always keep your feet planted on

the footrests.

Starting the Engine

Always start with the ATV on a flat,

level surface. Carbon monoxide poi-

soning 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 emergency stop switch

to RUN.

6. When the glow plug indicator light

goes off, press the starter button.

7. Let the engine warm up.

Starting A Cold Engine 

1. Turn off all electrical accessories

(hand warmer, lights, etc.); then

rotate the ignition switch key to

the first position (ON) leaving the

headlights OFF. Note that the N is

indicated on the LCD and the glow

plug indicator light is illuminated.

2. When the glow plug indicator light

goes off, press the starter button.

Basic Operating 

Maneuvers

Do not run the starter motor for
more than eight seconds per start-
ing attempt. The starter motor may
