Operation - ATV 125
Gasoline is extremely flammable and toxic. Always observe the following
precautions when refueling your ATV.
• Never permit vehicle refueling by anyone other than an adult.
• Refuel in a well ventilated area.
• Make sure the engine is off and avoid spilling fuel on a hot engine.
• Do not smoke; make sure that there are no open flames or sparks in
the area.
• Avoid prolonged contact with skin and breathing of gasoline vapors.
• Keep children and pets away during refueling.
REMOTE ENGINE STOP SWITCH
The ATV comes equipped with a remote engine stop switch which may be
operated by pulling the leash like lanyard attached to stop switch cap. An
adult supervising operation of the vehicle can use the lanyard to stop the
engine from a short distance. The adult who trains the young rider should
always use this lanyard until the rider develops sufficient skills for safe
operation of the vehicle.
This switch consists of a rubber cap fitted over a plastic body. When the
rubber cap is in place, the engine can operate. When the rubber cap is re-
moved from the switch body, the engine cannot be started. If the engine is
running and the rubber cap is removed by pulling the lanyard attached to
the cap, the engine will stop running.
To use the remote engine stop switch:
• Fit the rubber cap on the engine of the lanyard over the stop switch
body located on the rear end of the vehicle as shown. Put your fingers
through the loop at the other end of the lanyard.
• With the lanyard fastened to the vehicle and to your hand, follow
after the moving vehicle. If you notice any driving hazard or unsafe
situation, pull the lanyard forcefully so that the rubber cap comes off.
This will activate the remote engine stop switch, stopping the vehicle’s
engine
