Kick-Start Lever

If the battery becomes too weak to start the engine, use the

kick-start lever to start the engine until the battery is serviced.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Shift the transmission to neutral.
3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Fold out the kick-start lever on the left side of the ATV.

NOTE:

A 10/12mm wrench is provided in the tool kit for removing

or installing the lever. If not installed, make sure the rubber

cap is on the kick-start shaft to protect the rider. Store the

lever under the seat when it’s not installed.

5. Push the engine stop switch up to the ON position.
6. Turn the key to ON.
7. Place your foot on the kick-start, then thrust your heel

downward to crank the engine.

8. After the engine has started, fold the kick-start lever back into place.
