Prevention
B. Throttle
The throttle should have a free, smooth
range of motion. If it seems to “stick” at
any point, refer to the General Mainte-
nance section 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.
LIGHTS AND ELECTRIC
Turn the hi-beam and lo-beam on and
off to make sure they work. At the same
time, check that the taillight, brakelight,
turn signals, and hazard lights work.
Also, check the status/warning indica-
tors (reverse, neutral, hi-lo beam, turn,
and hazard) on the handlebars when you
start the ATV. Don’t drive the ATV
unless all systems are working. Check
the ignition switch.
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.
CHASSIS
Excessive road dirt and dust can gum-up
your suspension and shocks. Clear and
clean the suspension arms, shock
springs, and fenders. Check smoothness
by turning the handlebar full-left and
full-right. Check that there is no bind-
ing, restrictions, free-play, or looseness
in steering components.
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.

matic enough, but they’re even worse
