7-21

Select a large, flat area off-road to become

familiar with your ATV. Make sure that this

area is free of obstacles and other riders.

You should practice control of the throttle,

brakes, shifting procedures, and turning

techniques in this area before trying more

difficult terrain. Always avoid riding on

paved surfaces: the ATV is designed for

off-road use only, and handling maneu-

vers are more difficult to perform on pave-

ment.

Set the parking brake and follow the in-

struction on page 6-1 to start the engine.

Once it has warmed up you are ready to

begin riding your ATV. As you get on the

ATV, be sure not to accidentally move the

shift pedal. Remember that the engine and

exhaust pipe will be hot when riding and

afterwards; do not allow skin or clothing to

come in contact with these components.

With the engine idling, lift the shift pedal to

the 1st gear position and then release the

parking brake. Apply the throttle slowly

and smoothly. The centrifugal clutch will

engage and you will start to accelerate.

Once the ATV has attained adequate

speed, release the throttle and lift the shift

pedal to the 2nd gear position. Release the

shift pedal and apply the throttle smoothly.

Use this same procedure as you move into

the higher gears. Be sure to coordinate the

use of the throttle and shift pedal properly.

If the throttle is applied too abruptly or if

the throttle is not released during shifting,

or if the shift pedal is not released before

applying the throttle, the front wheels may

lift off the ground resulting in a loss of di-

rectional control. Avoid higher speeds until

you are thoroughly familiar with the opera-

tion of your ATV.
