Transporting your Thumpstar
If you use a truck or ATV trailer to transport your Thumpstar, we recom-
mend that you follow these guidelines:
• Use a loading ramp.
• Make sure the fuel valve is off.
• Secure the ATV in an upright position, using
tie-down straps. Avoid using rope, which can loosen
and allow the ATV to fall over.
To secure your Thumpstar ATV, brace the front wheel against the front
of the truck bed or trailer rail. Attach the lower ends of two straps to the
tie-down hooks on your vehicle. Attach the upper ends of the straps to the
handlebar (one on the right side, the other on the left), close to the fork.
WHAT TO TAKE ON THE TRAIL
What you take with you during a ride depends on the kind of terrain, how
long you expect to ride, how far you might go from your base camp or
help, and how experienced you or your companions are in making repairs.
If you decide to take some tools, spare parts, or other supplies on the trail,
be sure you can carry them safely and know how to use them. Also, be sure
to follow the loading guidelines and weight limit.
