WHAT TO WEAR BREAK-IN
Operating this ATV without wearing
an approved motorcycle helmet, eye
protection and protective clothing can
be hazardous.
Operating without an approved
motorcycle helmet or eye protection
increases your chances of a severe
head injury or death in the event of an
accident. Operating without protective
clothing increases your chances of
severe injury in the event of an
accident.
Always wear an approved motorcycle
helmet that fits properly.
Always wear eye protection (goggles
or face shield). You should also wear
gloves, boots, long sleeve shirt or
jacket, and long pants.
WARNING
A helmet is the most important piece of
gear you should wear. A helmet can help
prevent a serious head injury. Choose a
helmet that fits snugly. Ask your dealer for
help in selecting a good quality helmet that
fits properly.
You should wear eye protection when
you ride. If a rock or branch hits you in the
eyes, you could be severely injured. Wear
goggles or a face shield.
Wear proper clothing when you ride.
The proper clothes can help protect you
from injury. Wear a good pair of gloves,
strong boots that fit over the ankle, long
pants, and a long sleeve shirt.
The first month is the most important in
the life of your ATV. Proper operation
during this break-in period will help assure
maximum life and performance from your
new ATV.
The following guidelines explain proper
break-in procedures.
◉ ◉
MAXIMUM THROTTLE OPENING
RECOMMENDATION
During the first 10 hours of operation, you
should always use less than 1/2 throttle.
◉ ◉
VARY THE ENGINE SPEED
Vary the engine speed during the break-
in period. This allows the parts to “load”
(aiding the mating process) and then
“unload” (allowing the parts to cool).
Although it is essential to place some stress
on the engine components during break-in,
you must be careful not to load the engine
too much.
◉ ◉
AVOID CONSTANT LOW SPEED
Operating the engine at constant low
speed (light load) can cause parts to glaze
and not seat properly. Allow the engine to
accelerate freely through the gears, without
exceeding the maximum recommended
throttle opening.
◉ ◉
ALLOW THE ENGINE OIL TO
CIRCULATE BEFORE RIDING
Allow enough idling time after warm or
cold engine starting before revving the
engine or placing the transmission in gear.
This allows time for the lubricating oil to
reach all critical engine components.
