OPERATION
WARNING:
Always wear appropriate protective clothing and acces-
sories: a properly fitting helmet, eye protection (goggles)
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, gloves, over the ankle
boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, chest protector, and
long pants.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with product to make you care-
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
SAFETY GEAR
A DOT or Snell-approved motorcycle helmet is the most
important part of your safety gear because it can help pre-
vent a serious head injury. Choose a helmet that fits snugly.
Retailers can help in selecting a good quality helmet which
fits properly.
Always wear eye protection when you ride. If a rock or branch
hit your eyes, you could be severely injured. Wear shatter-
proof goggles or a face shield.
BREAK-IN
CAUTION:
Carefully and correctly follow the break-in procedures.
Failure to follow the break-in procedures can significantly
shorten the life of your ATV by causing excessive wear
and damaging the engine.
The first month is the most important in the life of your vehicle.
Proper operating during this break-in period will be helpful for
assuring maximum life and performance of your new ATV. The
following guidelines explain proper break-in procedures.
Vary the engine rotating speed. Vary the engine rotating
speed during the break-in period. This allows the parts to
“load” and then “unload” (allowing the parts to cool). Although
it is essential to place some stress on the engine components
during break-in, you must be careful not to load the engine
too much.
Avoid constant low or high rotating speed. Operating the
engine at constant low rotating speed (light load) can cause
parts to glaze and not seal properly. Operating the engine
at a constant high rotating speed can cause excessive heat,
which can damage internal components. Allow the engine
to accelerate freely without exceeding the maximum throttle
limit.

Allow the engine lubricant to circulate before riding. Allow
enough idling time after warm or cold engine starting. This
allows the lubricant to reach all critical engine components.
Observe and document your initial and most critical ser-
vice. The initial service (break-in maintenance) is the most
important service that your vehicle will receive. Observing a
proper break-in operating, will help engine components seal
properly. Maintenance required as part of the initial service
includes proper adjustments, tightening of all bolts and nuts,
and replacement of dirty oil. Timely performance of this ser-
vice will help you get the best service life and performance
of the engine.
WARNING:
Always inspect your ATV according to the pre-ride inspec-
tion checklist each time before riding and make sure it is
in a safe operating condition. Failure to inspect the ATV
before operating could increase the chance of an ac-
cident, resulting in serious personal injury or equipment
damage.
