PRE RIDE CHECK

You are almost ready to have an adult start your ATV. Before the ATV is started

for the first time, you must do a

PRE-RIDE CHECK

. In fact, every time you ride

your ATV you must have an adult help you check these things before starting

it. Let’s learn about these things now.

Make sure the throttle doesn’t stick. Check this by pushing the lever toward

the handlebar and then letting go. The lever should come right back to where

it was before you pushed it. If it comes back slowly or stays open, you have

a sticky throttle. This means that something is wrong or broken.

If you have a sticky throttle, do not start the engine. You could get hurt if

you ride when you have a sticky throttle. Have an adult or your Polaris Deal-

er fix the throttle.
