OPERATION
 Replace fuel tank cap and turn clockwise to secure.
WARNING:
Check for fuel leaks. A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and
must be replaced with an original manufacturer’s replace-
ment cap immediately. If you find any leaks, correct the
problem before using the product. Failure to do so could
result in a fire that could cause serous personal injury.
 If it came loose during refuelling, replace the vent tube in
the fuel tank cap. Make sure the other end of the tube is
still installed in the handlebar.
WARNING:
Overfilling the fuel tank could be hazardous. If you overfill
the fuel tank, fuel may overflow when it expands due to
heat from engine or sun. Spilled fuel could catch fire or
explode, resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Failure to complete the pre-ride inspection and verify
proper performance of the ATV before riding can result
in serious personal injury.

start the engine, causing you to lose control of the ATV.
 Properly position yourself on the ATV seat.
 Set the parking brake.
 Turn the fuel valve to the ON position.

celerate. Opening the throttle suddenly could cause the
front wheels to leave the ground and cause loss of control
of the ATV causing serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet
on the foot rests of your ATV during operation. Removing
even one hand or foot can reduce your ability to control
the ATV or could cause you to lose your balance and fall
off the ATV. If you remove a foot from the foot rest, you
may come in contact with the ATV, ground, obstacles,
etc., which could cause an accident and result in serious
personal injury.
