7.9. PRACTICING
Select a flat area to become familiar with your ATV.
Make sure that this area is free of obstacles and
other riders. You should practice control of the
throttle, brakes, shifting before trying more difficult
terrain.
Always avoid riding on rough surfaces: the ATV is
designed for on-road use only, and handling
maneuvers are more difficult to perform on rough
surfaces.
Set the parking brake and follow the instruction on
CH6.1~2
to start the engine. Once it has warmed up
you are ready to begin riding your ATV. Remember
that the engine and exhaust pipe will be hot when
riding and afterwards; do not allow skin or clothing
to come in contact with these components.
With the engine idling, return the starter knob to the
closed position and shift the drive select lever into
the forward position. Then release the parking brake.
Apply the throttle slowly and you will start to
accelerate. If the throttle is applied too abruptly, the
front wheels may lift off the ground resulting in a
loss of directional control. Avoid higher speeds until
you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of
your ATV.
When slowing down or stopping, release the throttle
and apply the brakes smoothly and evenly.
Improper use of the brakes can cause the tires to
lose traction, reducing control and increasing the
possibility of an accident.
