Prevention

1. TIRES AND WHEELS

Correct tire pressure is crucial. Consult

the General Maintenance section of this

Operator’s Manual for tire pressure

guidelines. Incorrect tire pressure can

cause poor handling, instability, and a

loss of ATV control.

While checking the tire pressure, inspect

the tread and sidewalls of the tires for

cracks, cuts, or other damage that could

indicate they need to be replaced.

2. CONTROLS AND

CABLE

With the engine running and brake

applied, check all transmission posi-

tions: forward, neutral, and reverse.

A. Brakes

Squeeze your brake lever and depress the

rear foot brake. If either feels soft or

“squishy,” it could be low on fluid or

have a leak — refer to the General Main-

tenance section of this Operator’s Man-

ual for instructions. Don’t use the ATV

until the brakes are operating normally.

Test the brake lever lock and see if it

locks the wheels; then disengage it to

release the brake.

B. Throttle

The throttle should have a free, smooth

range of motion. If it seems to “stick” at

any point, refer to the General Mainte-

nance section of this Operator’s Manual

for instructions. Driving your ATV with a

sticking throttle can turn your leisurely

ride into an unwelcome accident. Don’t

drive your ATV if the throttle sticks.

3. LIGHTS AND

ELECTRICAL

Turn the hi-beam and lo-beam on and off

to make sure they work. At the same

time, check that the taillight and brake-

light work. Also, check the indicator/

warning lights (reverse, neutral, and tem-

perature) on your handlebar when you

start the ATV. Don’t drive the ATV

unless all systems are working. Check

the ignition switch and engine stop

switch.

4. OIL AND FUEL

Start with a full tank of gas before every

ride, and while you’re at it, top off the oil.

Don’t forget to check for fluid leaks

around the ATV. Check the coolant tank

to ensure the engine coolant level is ade-

quate.
