Parking
Parking involves following the previous rules for braking; then:
1. After the ATV stops, shift into neutral.
2. Stop the engine using the emergency stop switch.
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. If you have to park on a hill, shift the ATV into low gear; other-
wise, try to park only on level surfaces.
5. Engage the brake lever lock.
Dismounting the ATV
After you’ve followed the procedure for parking, it’s time to dismount:
1. Double check that the brake lever lock is engaged.
2. Swing your right leg over to the left side of the seat.
3. Step to the ground on the left side of the ATV.
Active riding involves moving your body. You must learn to lean and
shift your weight into your turns to maintain control.
Your safety depends on using safe riding techniques. Statistics from
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) say that inex-
perienced riders who don’t use safe riding techniques are
13 times
more likely to have an ATV accident
than riders who have
over 1 month of experience.
Safe riding techniques include:
• Riding
• Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance
• Wide Turns
• Sharp Turns
• K-Turns
• Riding Uphill
• Riding Downhill
• Sidehilling/Traversing
• Swerving
• Crossing Obstacles

Once the engine’s warm, the ATV is ready to

2. Hold the brake lever, and release the brake
lever lock.
3. Shift into gear.
4. Release the brake slowly and apply the throttle.
