FUELING/REFUELING THE ATV
WARNING:
Improper fueling of the ATV could be hazardous. Failing
to follow safety precautions when refueling could result in
a fire or explosion or let you breathe toxic fumes, causing
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to
an ATV with a running or hot engine. Do not smoke or
allow flame or spark in the vicinity while the unit is being
refueled. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Move
at least 30 ft. (9,1 m) from refueling site before starting
engine. Improper handling of fuel could result in serious
personal injury.
 Clean surface around fuel cap to prevent contamination.
 Slowly turn the fuel tank cap counterclockwise and remove.
WARNING:
If a whistling sound is heard when loosening the fuel tank
cap, have the vehicle inspected and repaired before con-
tinued operation. Failure to do so could cause the fuel to
overheat, resulting in a fire or explosion causing serious
personal injury.
 Carefully pour fuel into the tank until the level reaches the
bottom of the filler neck. Avoid spillage.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this
Operator’s Manual. Always maintain proper tire pressure
as described in the Maintenance section of this manual
and on the unit. Operating this ATV with improper tires,
or improper tire air pressure, could be hazardous. If you
use improper tires or improper air pressure, you may lose
control of the ATV and cause an accident, which could
result in serious personal injury.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE RIDING
Before riding, you should read carefully and understand all
the following information, in addition to being thoroughly
familiar with the Rules for Safe Operation in the front of this
manual. If you are properly prepared, you will have a more
enjoyable ride.
Before riding, you should find a flat, open area with enough
space to practice the skills.
WARNING:
The risk of an accident is greatly increased if the operator
does not know how to operate the ATV properly in differ-
ent situations and on different types of terrain. Beginning
and inexperienced operators should complete the certified
training courses offered by SVIA (www.svia.org). They
should then regularly practice the skills learned in the
course and the operating techniques described in the
Operator’s Manual. Failure to follow safe and proper oper-
ating techniques could result in serious personal injury.
For more information about the training course, contact an
authorized ATV dealer or call SVIA at 1-800-887-2887. For
more information on ATV safety, contact the Baja ATV Safety
Hotline at: 1-866-260-8630.
Do not operate the ATV indoors where there is little or no
ventilation. Breathing in exhaust gasses from the ATV could
cause severe injury. Always run your ATV outdoors where
there is fresh air.
Make sure it is legal to ride in the area you selected; comply
with all laws and make sure you are not trespassing. Call the
police if you don’t know where you can ride.
Protect your riding areas. When you are riding, remember
to keep the terrain in good condition. Don’t destroy plants,
trees, or other vegetation. Don’t litter and don’t bother wildlife.
With your help, your riding area can remain open for use in
the future.
After you have found a good place to practice, review the
control system on your ATV before riding. Learn to find these
controls without looking for them, because you will not have
time to look for them when you are riding.
NOTE: Obtain, review, and follow all laws, acts, and regu-
lations pertaining to owning and operating an off-road ve-
hicle.
