GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ATV
This ATV is mainly for utility use, but may also be
used for recreation. This section, Riding your ATV,
provides general ATV riding instructions for recre-
ational riding. The skills and techniques described
in this section, however, are appropriate for all
types of riding. Riding your ATV requires special
skills acquired through practice over a period of
time. Take the time to learn the basic techniques
well before attempting more difficult maneuvers.
Riding your new ATV can be a very enjoyable ac-
tivity, providing you with hours of pleasure. But it is
essential to familiarize yourself with the operation
of the ATV to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy
riding safely. Before you begin to ride, be sure you
have read this Owner’s Manual completely and un-
derstand the operation of the controls. Pay partic-
ular attention to the safety information on pages
2-1–2-4. Also read all warning and notice labels on
your ATV.
RIDE WITH CARE AND GOOD JUDGMENT
Get training if you are inexperienced.
WARNING
EWB01381
● Do not operate this ATV or allow anyone else
to operate it without proper instruction. The
risk of an accident is greatly increased if the
operator does not know how to operate the
ATV properly in different situations and on
different types of terrain.
● Do not operate this ATV at speeds too fast
for your skills or the conditions, as this in-
creases your chances of losing control of
the ATV and an accident. Always go at a
speed that is proper for the terrain, visibility
and operating conditions, and your experi-
ence.
Beginning and inexperienced operators should
regularly practice the skills and the operating tech-
niques described in this Owner’s Manual.
