10. NEVER ride this vehicle unless it has
been properly maintained and adjusted. Always perform a pre-ride inspection of your vehicle. Look for wires, bolts and other fasteners that may have come loose on previous rides. Inspect the drive chain, throttle and brakes for proper adjustment and operation. Check the engine oil level in the oil tank. Check fuel level and inspect for fuel leaks. (Remember, you can ride further in 1 hour than you can walk back in 1 day!)
11. WARM UP your body with some exercises
before riding. This helps to make you alert and prevent cramping and other discomfort.
12. LEARN TO RIDE this vehicle properly and
safely. Have an experienced rider teach you the safe operation of your vehicle. E-TON recommends you take an ATV riding course before you first ride your vehicle.

13. NEVER REFUEL this vehicle when hot. Ask
your adult supervisor to refuel your vehicle. Gasoline is extremely flammable and will ignite if spilled on a hot engine or muffler. Never smoke or expose the fuel to an open flame or spark while refueling your vehicle. Always refuel your vehicle in a safe place free of any ignition source.
14. NEVER run the vehicle in an enclosed area. The
exhaust gases from the engine contain CARBON MONOXIDE which can be fatal if breathed in high concentrations for an extended time.
15. HOT! The engine and exhaust system on
your vehicle become very hot during normal operation. Touching these hot surfaces can cause severe burns. Always assume that your unit’s engine and exhaust system are HOT unless you know that they are not.

Control Features
Engine Stop Switch
The stop switch is a red colored rocker switch located on the left-hand handle bar.
To start and run the engine, this switch must be placed in the on, “Ω”, position.
The vehicle is also equipped with a safety brake switch which will prevent the engine from starting until the parking brake is engaged.
To stop your engine, place the switch to the stop, “”, position.
In the stop, “”, position the ignition system is grounded preventing the spark plug from firing.
This switch can also be used as a safety or emergency stop switch.
Manual choke lever
All Vector is equipped with a manually operated carburetor choke system. This choke is operated by the lever at the bottom of the left hand control switch.
When first starting the engine,(cold start), place the lever in the full left position, (Choke closed or on). As the engine warms return the lever to the full right position. (Choke open or off).
Throttle lever
The throttle lever is located on the right-hand handle bar below the grip. To operate the throttle lever, place your right thumb on the lever and press forward to increase your speed. To decrease your speed, reduce your pressure on the lever and the spring tension will
automatically reduce your speed.
The travel of the throttle lever is controlled by the throttle stop bolt.
As your operator gains more experience, you can increase the throttle travel to allow for additional speed to be obtained.
To increase the throttle’s travel, thus increasing the maximum speed, turn the throttle stop bolt counter clockwise. To decrease the throttle’s travel, thus decreasing the maximum speed, turn the throttle stop bolt clockwise.
