PreventionOverviewWhen using an ATV, prevention is the name of the game. “Had you onlyknown” something could go wrong, you would have prevented it. If youdon’t notice your conditions and surroundings before riding your ATV, yougive up control over the situation. Using ATV prevention techniques helpsyou forecast potential hazards before they injure you or damage your ATV.Following the safety instructions and warnings in this manual will helpyou “P.A.S.S.” the safety test. P.A.S.S. stands for “Prevention,” “ActiveRiding,” “Sound Judgment,” and “Supervision.” Remembering P.A.S.S.and what it stands for will help you have a safe, predictable ride everytime you go out on your ATV.

You’ll find it important to dress correctly for ATVriding in order to prevent scraped skin and serioushead injuries. It’s easy and could save you time inthe long run not having to contend with an injury.Of course, it also makes sense to remember theseasons. Wear a hat under your helmet and asnowmobile suit in the winter and lighter, protec-tive clothing in the summer.

GlovesYour hands are targets for flying objects and branches. Along with pro-viding skin protection, gloves will shield your hands from harshweather. Wear gloves that are weather resistant and have a gripping sur-face to keep them from sliding off the handlebar.Boots/Ankle ProtectionWear a boot that covers the largest possible area of your leg (preferablyup to your knee) and can handle significant impact. Choosing boots withlow heels and a good tread will help prevent your feet from slipping offthe footrests in wet or rugged conditions or getting hurt if they get hit byrocks, dirt, or branches.

The second step in Prevention is checking the condition of your ATV.Chances are good that you’ll be using your ATV in some rough terrain, andthere’s no way you want your brakes to go out when riding downhill. Youneed to check the following parts on your ATV before every ride.

1. Tires and Wheels2. Controls and Cable3. Lights and Electrical System4. Oil and Fuel5. Chassis6. Miscellaneous Items

1. Tires and WheelsCorrect tire pressure is crucial. Consult theGeneral Maintenance section of this Opera-tor’s Manual for tire pressure guidelines.Incorrect tire pressure can cause poor han-dling, instability, and a loss of ATV control.

Active RidingOverview“Active Riding” is the second part of “P.A.S.S.” It involves an under-standing of how your body weight, balance, gravity, and physical forcesaffect the handling of the ATV. Knowing how to shift your weight isnecessary to avoid rolling or flipping the ATV.For complete operating instructions, see ATV OPERATION section inthis manual.

Sound Judgment

People do all kinds of things that you can’t predict or control.Riding CompanionsLeave a lot of space between you and other riders, especially in dustyand dirty conditions, because it’ll be difficult to see the riders in front ofyou stopping.Do not carry a passenger on any ATV designed for single-rider use.These ATVs do not have appropriate equipment (hand-holds, footrests,etc) to accommodate riders. Additionally, the added weight and weightshift can make the vehicle difficult to control.Other VehiclesDepending on where you’re riding, you might encounter other ATVs,bikes, or motor vehicles on public lands. Respect the presence of cars ifyou’re crossing roads or riding in public areas and make yourself be seen.If you can’t see other vehicles coming, that means you’re invisible, too.HikersWith the renewed interest in hiking, camping, and other outdoor activi-ties, people can show up in remote areas where you would never expectthem. For their sake, keep your eyes open.Animals and NatureRespect the outdoors that you love. Don’t use your ATV to chase ani-mals or birds. Drive around young trees rather than over them. Keepclear of streams and ditches with standing water.Tread Lightly and leave it as you found it.

SupervisionOverviewYou’re responsible for supervising those who ride your ATV. Your wis-dom is valuable ... it’ll bring them all back safely — your friends, yourfamily, your relatives, and your ATV. It’s crucial that you consider your-self a supervisor for all riders of your ATV. Whether you accept respon-sibility or not, the truth is that you are responsible for others riding yourATV.

You’re to the last letter in “PASS” ... “Supervision.” You’ve just gonethrough the manual, and you’ve seen what’s involved. That puts you in agood position to be confident about what you know. So now it’s time touse your knowledge and supervise others who ride your ATV.Inexperienced/Untrained RidersYou can’t let people ride your ATV who don’t know what they’re doing.Unless they’ve had over a year of experience with ATV riding or takenan ATV training course, it’s your responsibility to keep them off yourATV. It can be dangerous (especially for underaged children) — all themore reason for you to be firm.Experienced/Trained RidersIf anyone is going to borrow your ATV, you are responsible for theirsupervision. Before they ride, have them take the training course, havethem watch the safety video, have them read the Operator’s Manual, andtrain them. ATVs are all a little different from the handling to the stability to thecontrols. So regardless of how much experience your family membershave with ATVs, they don’t have experience with your ATV. Let experi-enced riders get familiar with your ATV — show them the basics beforethey take off. You don’t want it on your conscience that someone gothurt because you didn’t tell them how to use your ATV.

ATV Operation

Active riding and basic maneuvers are the foundation of your ATV ride.Without basic skills, it’s impossible to execute active riding. These areyour basic maneuvers:

Mounting the ATV

1. From the left side, grab the left-side handlebar, apply the brake, andput your left foot on the footrest.

2. Grab the right-side handlebar.3. Swing your leg over the seat and set your right foot down on the

right-side footrest.4. Get seated in a comfortable position.5. Always keep your feet planted on the footrests.

Starting the Engine

Always start with the ATV on a flat, level surface. Carbon monoxidepoisoning can kill you, so keep your ATV outside while it’s running.Follow these steps to start it up:

1. Engage the parking brake.2. Mount the ATV and sit down.3. Turn on the fuel valve.4. Turn on the ignition.5. Shift into neutral.6. Move the emergency stop switch to RUN.

2. Compress the left-hand brake lever; then press on the starter button.

3. Allow the engine to warm up for approximately 2-2 1/2 minutes.Do not touch the throttle lever until the engine has run for at least 3minutes.

4. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes so it is thoroughly warmedup. If the engine is run for a shorter period of time, the spark plugmay not have reached a high enough temperature to burn off theexcess fuel in the combustion chamber.

Braking/Stopping

Coming to a stop should be a slow, easy process. Always allow plenty ofroom and time to stop smoothly. Sometimes quick stops are inevitable,so always be prepared. Whether you’re stopping slowly or stoppingquickly, do this:

1. Compress both right and left brake levers on the handlebars toapply both the front and rear brakes.

2. If your wheels lock, release them for a second; then apply themagain.

When you turn, the trick is to move forward and slide over to the side ofthe seat that’s on the inside of the turn. Support your body weight on theoutside footrest. At the same time, lean your body to the inside of the turn.Pay attention to the handling — if you feel the tires coming off theground, reduce speed, shift more of your body weight to the side that’slifting, and make the turn wider if possible.

Riding Uphill

Many accidents happen while riding on hills and as a result of the ATVrolling or flipping. So, obviously, use extreme caution and follow thismethod for riding uphill.

1. Accelerate before you start climbing; then maintain a steady pace.2. Lean as far forward as possible. For steeper hills, come off your

1. Shift your body weight as far back on the seat as possible.2. Lightly apply the brakes and ease up on the throttle.

Wide Turns

Many ATV accidents happen during turns. If you don’t understand turn-ing techniques, it’s easy for the ATV to get away from you by losingtraction, plowing, or tipping. Use this method for wide turns:

1. Ease off the throttle as you approach the turn to slow down.2. Use the principles of leaning, weight shifting, and balancing - shift

your body weight to the inside of the turn.3. Gradually increase your speed as you come out of the turn.

7. Keep your body loose to absorb any shock.8. If the ATV starts tipping, shift your weight to keep it in balance.

To clear a single-track (only one tire contacts) obstacle, follow the samerules except:

1. Use the ATV’s momentum to clear the obstacle.2. Don’t pull up on the handlebar.3. Don’t apply the throttle.

Crossing Water

Your ATV can only handle water up to its footrests. Any more than thatand you risk engine damage and/or personal injury. Stay away from fastmoving rivers. ATV tires can be buoyant, so if the water is too deep, youmight find the ATV suddenly afloat.

1. Physically check the depth and current of the water, especially ifyou can’t see the bottom. You’re also checking for boulders, logs,or any other hidden obstacles.

2. Keep your speed slow.3. Make sure you have a way out on the other side of the water.4. If you get stuck in the sludge or mud, try rocking the ATV from

side to side.5. Once you’ve cleared the water, briefly apply the brakes to make

sure they work.

Gasoline — Oil — Lubricant

Filling Gas Tank

Since gasoline expands as its temperature increases, the gas tank mustbe filled to its rated capacity only. Expansion room must be maintainedin the tank particularly if the tank is filled with cold gasoline and thenmoved to a warm area. Allow the engine to cool before filling the gas tank. Care must be takennot to overfill the tank. If overfilled, gas may leak onto the engine creat-ing a fire hazard.

Tighten the gas tank cap securely after filling the tank.Recommended Gasoline

The recommended gasoline to use in this ATV is 87 minimum octaneregular unleaded. In many areas, oxygenates are added to the gasoline.Oxygenated gasolines containing up to 10% ethanol or 5% methanol areacceptable gasolines.When using ethanol-blended gasoline, it is not necessary to add a gaso-line antifreeze since ethanol will prevent the accumulation of moisturein the fuel system.

Shock Absorbers

Each shock absorber should be visiblychecked weekly for excessive fluid leak-age (some seal leakage may be observedbut it does not indicate the shock is inneed of replacement), cracks or breaks inthe lower case, or a bent shock rod. If anyone of these conditions is detected,replacement is necessary.NOTE: When the ATV is operatedin extremely cold weather (-23°C/-10°F or colder), a smallamount of leakage may be present.Unless the leakage is excessive,replacement is not necessary.

Ramp-style adjusters are used toadjust shock preload. Rotate theadjuster toward the right to decreasepreload or the left to increase preload.General LubricationCables

None of the cables require lubrication; however, it is advisable to lubri-cate the ends of the cables periodically with a good cable lubricant.

To help prevent cold weather fouling, make sure to thoroughlywarm up the engine before operating.To maintain a hot, strong spark, keep the plug free of carbon.Before removing the spark plug, besure to clean the area around thespark plug. If you do not, dirt couldenter engine when removing orinstalling the spark plug.Adjust the gap to 0.6-0.7 mm (0.024-0.028 in.) for proper ignition. Use afeeler gauge to check the gap.A new spark plug should be tightened 1/2 turn once the washer contactsthe cylinder head. A used spark plug should be tightened 1/8 - 1/4 turnonce the washer contacts the cylinder head.
