WARNING
To help your child develop confidence, he/she
should PRACTICE FIRST WITH THE ENGINE
OFF, as follows :
1. Have your child sit on the
『ATV』
and tell
him/her to release the parking brake.
2. Instruct your child to keep his/her eyes
straight ahead and slowly push the vehicle
from behind, if you are physically able to do
so. This will allow your child to get the feel of
riding a moving vehicle.
3. As you push the
『ATV』
, instruct your child to
steer straight ahead and perform operations
such as stopping the vehicle and turning off
the engine stop switch while moving. Watch
your child closely to make sure he/she is
operating the controls correctly and without
looking at the controls.
4. As you approach the end of the practice
area, tell the rider to stop the vehicle, apply
the parking brake, and get off. You should
then drag the rear end of the
『ATV』
around
so you can push it straight ahead in the
opposite direction.
Next, start the
『ATV』
s engine and have your
child practice starting off, riding in a straight line,
and stopping, with the vehicle under power.
Walk along the side of the ATV if you can, or
have the young-ster ride back and forth between
you and another supervisor.
Watch closely to make sure the rider :
1. Opens the throttle gently when starting off.
2. Releases the throttle and applies the brake in
sequence when stopping.
3. Becomes aware of the distance it takes the
vehicle to stop when the engine stop switch
is turned off while the vehicle is moving.
As you approach the end of the practice area,
you should again tell the rider to stop the vehi-
cle, apply the parking brake, and get off so you
can turn it around for him/her. Practice this exer-
cise until your child can start off, accelerate,
cruise and stop correctly and with confidence.
Practice with the engine off until your child gets
the feel of using the brakes and can stop the
vehicle and turn off the engine stop switch with-
out looking at the controls, and without hesita-
tion.
