Keep your body weight towards the rear. Apply the brake gradually to prevent skidding. Do not coast down
the slope using engine compression or in neutral gear.
Side-Hilling
This is one of the most risky types of riding since it may drastically change the balance of the ATV. It
should be avoided wherever possible. If it is necessary to do so, it is important that you
ALWAYS keep your body weight on the upside of the slope and be prepared to dismount on that side
should the ATV begin to roll. Do not try to stop or save the ATV from damage.
When operating in reverse, check that the path behind you is free of people or obstacles. Proceed slowly
and avoid any sharp turns.
When stopped or parked always apply the parking brake. This is especially important when parking on a
slope. On very steep inclines or if the ATV is carrying a cargo, the wheels should be blocked using rocks or
bricks. Remember to turn the fuel valve to the closed position.
Routine Maintenance
Once your ride is completed it is recommended to remove any build up of snow, ice, mud and grime. Not
only will this help you keep the ATV longer and in good condition for resale but will eliminate potential
hazards the next time you use the ATV. Wash the ATV with warm soapy water then allow it to dry. (A towel
may help). Do not wash the ATV outside during freezing weather. Apply appropriate lubrication as
described in the MAINTENANCE section.
Part of your responsibility towards safety is to respect the contents of this Operator’s Guide. It provides
valuable advise on how to properly take care of your ATV. If further assistance is required your authorized
Lil Pick Up ATV dealer is always willing to help.
Modification of the ATV to increase speed and performance may violate the terms and conditions of your
ATV limited warranty. In addition, certain modifications including the removal of engine or exhaust
components are illegal under most laws.
Changing the wheel and/or tire size may affect the stability of the ATV. Incorrect tire pressure may lead to
blow outs or cause a tire to move around on its rim and become lost or damaged. Wheels or tires which are
damaged should always be replaced.
