Warning
When you activate the atv, the electrical system becomes live. Do not try to affect changes
to the Atv (such as removing the battery or repairing electrical components) while the Atv
is activated. Turn the Atv off and remove the key before you attempt to access any of the
electrical components. Also, the battery carries a significant electric charge and can injure
people if not treated properly and with respect.
Accelerating and Decelerating
The throttle is found on the right-side hand grip on the handlebars. Turn rotate the grip
counterclockwise (towards you) to accelerate. To decelerate, release the grip (turn it
away from you). Don’t over-rotate the accelerator, as this could damage the battery and
electrical components.
Warning
Do not activate the accelerator until you are seated on the atv and are ready to accelerate.
The atv can easily escape from your control, possibly injuring you or others, and the atv
may be damaged by being dropped.
Stopping
Your atv has two sets of brakes, at the front and at the rear. The levers attached to the
handlebars, on the left and right, activate the brakes. Pull the levers toward you to activate
the brakes.
You can use both brakes to come to a stop more quickly, or you can use one of the brakes
to come to a gentle stop, depending on your riding needs at the moment. When the
brakes are activated, the power to the engine is automatically turned off, until you release
the brakes. This allows you to stop safely.
Safety Tips
•
When you are traveling in wet weather, water may cause your brakes to function
less efficiently because it reduces friction between the brake pads and the wheels.
•
Take care to slow down and give yourself more room to stop or slow if necessary.
•
It is a good idea to have your brakes and brake pads checked regularly. The brake
pads will eventually wear down through friction, and after significant use will have to
be replaced.
•
Engage the rear brakes first before the front brakes to avoid flipping the unit.
