12. Riding
You must inspect your ATV each time before riding to ensure it is in proper working
order. If proper inspection is not done, severe injury or death could result. See
Section 5 “Daily Pre-Ride Inspection”
1. Sit upright with both feet on footrests and both hand on the handlebars.
2. After starting the engine and allowing it to warm up, shift the transmission into
gear.
3. Check you surroundings and determine your path of travel.
4. Release the parking brake.
5. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving. Vehicle
speed is controlled by the amount of throttle opening.
6. Drive slowly, practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level
surfaces
Making Turns
Practice making turns at slow speeds . This ATV is equipped with a solid rear axle,
which drives both rear wheels equally at all times. This means that the wheel on
the outside of the turn must travel a greater distance than the inside wheels when
turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly. To turn, steer in the direction of
the turn leaning your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the
balance of traction between the rear wheels allowing the turn to be made smoothly.
The same leaning technique should be used for turning in reverse.
Riding on Slippery Surfaces
Failure to exercise care when operating the ATV on slippery surfaces can be
dangerous. Loss of tire traction and vehicle control can result in an accident,
including an overturn.
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel, or during
cold freezing weather, special attention must be given to preventing vehicle
turnover. Always observe the following:
