Checking Your ATV

A pre-ride inspection of your ATV’s mechanical

condition is important to minimalise the chance of

injury or being stranded, as well as to ensure the long-

term enjoyment of your ATV. Remember, you can ride

farther in an hour than you can walk in a day. Always

inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure

the ATV is in safe operating condition. Follow the

inspection and maintenance procedures described in

your owner’s manual. Pay special attention to warn-

ings in your manual and on all labels on the ATV.

Never modify an ATV through improper installation or

use of accessories. All parts and accessories added

to an ATV should be genuine or equivalent compo-

nents designed for use on that particular ATV, and

should be installed and used properly. If you have

questions, consult an authorised ATV dealer.
