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 maneuvers
are more difficult to perform on pavement.
Set the parking brake and follow the instructions
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 compo-
nents.
With the engine idling, pull the clutch lever to
disengage the clutch and shift into 1st gear, and
then release the parking brake. Open the throttle
gradually, and at the same time, release the
clutch lever slowly. Once the ATV has attained
adequate speed, release the throttle lever and at
same time, quickly pull in the clutch lever and
shift into 2nd gear. Open the throttle part way
and gradually release the clutch. 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 direc-
tional control. Avoid higher speeds until you are
thoroughly familiar with the operation of your
ATV.
