FUEL VALVE
This vehicle has a manually operated
fuel valve. There are three positions:
“ON” and “PRI”.
“ON” position
The normal operating position for the
fuel valve lever is the “ON” position. In
this position, fuel will flow to the car-
buretor when the engine is running or
being started.
“PRI” (PRIME) position
In this position, fuel will flow directly to
the carburetor even though the
engine is not running or being started.
Use this position if the vehicle has run
out of fuel or has not been used for
several days, since there may not be
any fuel in the carburetor.
RECOIL STARTER
This vehicle has a recoil starter to
start the engine. To use the recoil
starter, grip the starter rope handle
located on the engine CVT cover. Pull
the rope gently until you feel the
starter engage. Pull the rope force-
fully to start the engine. Immediately
after the engine starts, be sure to
gently return the starter rope to its
normal position.
NOTE: The engine will not start with
the recoil starter if the parking brake
is not engaged.

WARNING
Leaving the fuel valve in the “PRI”
position when the engine is off
can be hazardous.
The carburetor may overflow and
fuel may run into the engine. This
can cause a fire or cause severe
damage to the ATV when you start
the engine.
Always return the fuel valve to the
“ON” position when the engine is
not running.
