Prevention
Test the brake lever lock and see if it locks the hand brake lever into
position; then disengage it to release the brake. Be sure the brake
pedal near the footrest is working; your brakes could fail during a ride
if they’re not maintained.
B. Throttle
The throttle should have a free,
smooth range of motion. If it
seems to “stick” at any point, refer to the General Maintenance sec-
tion of this Operator’s Manual for instructions. Driving your ATV
with a sticking throttle can turn your leisurely ride into an unwelcome
accident. Don’t drive your ATV if the throttle sticks.
3. LIGHTS AND
ELECTRIC
Turn the hi-beam and lo-beam on
and off to make sure they work.
At the same time, verify the tail-
light and brakelight work. Also,
check the status/warning indica-
tors (reverse, neutral, and hi-lo
beam) on the handlebars when you start the ATV. Don’t drive the
ATV unless all systems are working. Check the ignition switch and
engine stop switch.
4. OIL AND FUEL
Start with a full tank of gas before
every ride, and while you’re at it,
top off the oil. Don’t forget to check
for fluid leaks around the ATV.
Watch the overheat indicator to
ensure the engine coolant level is
adequate.
5. CHASSIS
Grass and leaves can gum-up your
suspension and shocks. Clear and
clean the suspension arms, shock
springs, and fenders. Check smooth-
ness by turning the handlebar full-
left and full-right. Check that there
is no binding, restrictions, free-play,
or looseness in steering components.
6. MISCELLANEOUS
ITEMS
Inspect your air filter. Look for
debris or damage that may indicate
you need to replace it. A clogged
filter can stop an engine. Check your battery terminals for corrosion.
Also, be sure to tighten any loose parts, nuts, or bolts.
You need to prepare for the unexpected. Emergencies and accidents
are traumatic enough, but they’re even worse when you’re not pre-
pared for them. At the minimum during every ATV ride, you should
have the following items on board:
• Tools
• Water
• Identification
• First Aid Kit
For rides that are longer in duration and distance, the following addi-
tional items are recommended:
• Cellular Phone
• Maps/GPS
• Emergency Kit
with Flashlight and First Aid Kit
