OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING:
Be sure to set the parking brake before you start the en-

start the engine, causing you to lose control of the ATV.
 Properly position yourself on the ATV seat.
 Set the front or rear parking brake.
 Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.
 Turn the switch key to the ON position.
 Set the engine stop switch to the RUN position.
 Press the START button to start the engine. If the battery
is dead, use the pull cord (if equipped) to start the engine.
 This ATV has an automatic choke. Keep the throttle lever
slightly depressed and allow the engine to warm up com-
pletely before attempting to ride.
 When you are sure the engine is warm, release the park-
ing brake.
 Release the brake lever and open the throttle gradually
to move forward.
WARNING:
Always open the throttle gradually when you want to ac-
celerate. Opening the throttle suddenly could cause the
front wheels to leave the ground and cause loss of control
of the ATV causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet
on the foot rests of your ATV during operation. Removing
even one hand or foot can reduce your ability to control
the ATV or could cause you to lose your balance and fall
off the ATV. If you remove a foot from the foot rest, you
may come in contact with the ATV, ground, obstacles,
etc., which could cause an accident and result in serious
personal injury.

the direction of the unit, you will need to follow the instruc-
tions for turning or dismount the ATV and push it backward
by hand.

When attempting to reverse the direction of the ATV by
pushing it, keep your hand or foot on the brake at all times
and always stay clear of the wheels. Failure to keep your
