STEP 6: PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
When your student has mastered the basic riding maneuvers in the previously listed steps,
she/he should practice them all together. Instruct the student to perform various maneuvers
such as turning right, turning left, stopping, etc. Vary the order of these maneuvers so the
student will not anticipate what s/he will be asked to do next. Practice this exercise until you
are confident that the rider has mastered all the basic maneuvers. Using this procedure will
help the first-time rider learn the most basic riding techniques. To become a skilled rider,
your student will need a great deal of practice and continuing instruction in addition to
completing these introductory steps. After all the riding techniques have been mastered, you
can adjust the throttle limiter to provide higher speed capabilities in keeping with the rider’s
skill and experience.
Starting your ATV for the first time:
Fuel Valve Adjustment:
Make sure to turn the fuel shut off valve to the off position and place a
small amount ( a quart or so) of fuel in the gas tank. Then slowly turn the
fuel valve to the on position and check for any fuel leaks if you should see
any fuel leaking then turn the valve to the off position and fix any fuel leaks
before going any farther. Do not try to start the engine at this time.
Engine Oil Level:
Next check the engine oil level and if its not full then fill to the proper
level. It is recommended that with the centrifugal clutch not to use
synthetic oil or a synthetic blend as it is to slick, and could cause
premature failure of the clutch lining. In the summer
or in hot climate you should use a 15w-40 or 20w-50 motor oil and in
cold or cool climate use a 10w-30 or 10w-40 conventional motor oil.
If the ATV is
not
kept in an area that will stay
above
freezing then the oil should be changed
before the first freeze to prevent any condensation from freezing and causing any damage to the
engine. If the ATV is being rode in and out of a lot of water then the oil should be changed more
frequently. Turn the fuel shut off valve to the off position and crank the engine for a few seconds
then let set for 20 seconds and crank again, this will help prime the oil pump to keep it from a
dry start
