Is Your ATV Ready to Ride?
(cont’d)
If you are carrying cargo, also check the following:
Check these items after you get on the ATV:
Cable
Check the cable housings for wear. Check
the fittings for looseness. Replace or tighten
as needed.
Lights
Make sure the headlights, brake light and
taillight are working properly.
Loading Limits
Make sure you do not exceed the load limits
(page 68).
Cargo
Check that all cargo is secure.
Throttle
Check the freeplay and adjust if needed.
Press the throttle to make sure it moves
smoothly without sticking, and snaps shut
automatically when it is released, in all
steering positions (page 159).
Brakes
Squeeze the front and rear brake levers and
step on the rear brake pedal to check that
the controls operate normally. Check for
proper freeplay (pages 175, 177). Make sure
there is no brake fluid leakage.
Reverse Assist Lever
Check the freeplay and adjust if needed
(page 162). Make sure the lever operates
smoothly without sticking.
