SAFETY INFORMATION
The QUAD is not a toy: driving it may be dangerous.
The QUAD is driven differently form from other vehicles such as cars and motorbikes. Even during routine manoeuvres like turns, driving on hills or over obstacles, collisions or tumbles can be quickly produced, if precautions are not taken.
WARNING
Not following these instructions may lead to grave injuries or even death.
- Do not drive the QUAD before reading the sections: "Safety
information", "Use of the QUAD", and "Main parts of the vehicle". Even if you are an experienced QUAD driver, not all makes and models are equal and it is necessary to know the machine in depth before starting on your first outing.
- You are not allowed to carry a passenger, and the vehicle is not
equipped for that purpose.
- Sit correctly with both hands on the handlebars, your feet on the
footrests and your back straight up.
- Always control your speed according to your skills, the weather
conditions and the ground characteristics. Pay attention to changes in the ground surface and control your speed when you are not familiar with them.
- Always perform the routine checks described in this manual before
using the vehicle, to make sure it is in perfect operating conditions.
- Riding a QUAD is not like driving any other vehicle, and you will notice it specially when cornering. Practise on flat ground with free of obstacles and with no other vehicles around first. Read the recommendations in the section "Use of the QUAD" of this manual.
- The same applies to steep climbs or descends. Start testing your skills with minimum slopes and raise the difficulty level little by little. Advice on this point is also included in the section mentioned above.
- In case you stall the engine, follow the procedure described in the manual. If the engine stalls and the vehicle starts going backwards, follow the special braking procedure described in the manual. Climb off the vehicle to the higher side of the slope.
- Remember that your safety comes before the machine's, and it is important to keep this priority in mind.
-When going across a slope, move your weight to the higher side, read the manual's advice on that. Avoid very slippery slopes or with loose surface.
- Never try to overcome big obstacles, like rocks or trunks. This vehicle has not been designed for that; it could be damaged and/or you might be injured.
- Do not try to make the vehicle slide sideways if you don't dominate the technique in depth, because it may be dangerous. Like in the cases described above, do some testing on flat, wide and obstacle­free ground beforehand and follow the advice described in this manual. You must never lose control of the vehicle.
- This vehicle has been designed to go through a maximum depth of 35 cm of water. Do not use the vehicle in fast moving water, read the instructions for this type of terrain carefully. Take into account that brake efficiency is diminished when wet. When coming out of the water, brake several times so that they dry more quickly through friction.
WILD HP -75-
- Always use the tyre size and type described in this manual.
WARNING
- Always stop the engine before refuelling.
- While refuelling, do not smoke, fuel is highly flammable and may
explode under certain conditions. Keep the engine off at all times. Make sure the area has good ventilation and free of sparks of flammable sources; this includes lamps. The fuel might catch fire and cause serious burns. Avoid spilling fuel over the engine, exhaust or muffler.
- When transporting the quad using a trailer, make sure it is upright
ant that the fuel tap is in the OFF position (closed). Fuel leaks might take place in the carburettor or in the fuel tank otherwise.
- Fuel is poisonous. In case of accidental ingestion, abundant vapour
inhalation or contact with your eyes, go to the doctor at once. If fuel gets in contact with your skin, wash it with water and soap. Should you clothes get wet with fuel, change them.
- Always ride your quad in well-ventilated areas. Do not start the
engine or keep it running in closed facilities. The exhaust vapours are poisonous and may lead to loss of consciousness or even death in a short time.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The vehicle leaves the factory with some unassembled elements, to make transportation easier. The dealer will make sure each element is correctly fitted and you will receive the quad ready to use. This paragraph is purely for your information.
You will find enclosed a carburettor-adjustment kit. The adjustments must be performed by an expert and only when it is necessary. The carburettor is already tuned, so changes to its settings are initially not required.
A spanner for chain tensioning is also enclosed to adjust the chain tension and centre the swing arm axle. Do not lose it; you will make good use of it.

FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
WARNING
Always check the brakes before riding. Do not drive the QUAD if you find a problem in the brakes or if braking capacity may be reduced, because it might lead to an accident. Should you discover any problem that cannot be solved using the proceedings described in this manual, go to a specialised workshop to have the QUAD inspected.
Disc wear-out is automatically compensated and does not have any effect on the brake lever or pedal. The only adjustments required are the brake lever free play, the pedal position and its free play.
Brake lever and pedal
Check the free play in the front brake lever (1). Should it be noticeable, check the state of the brake pads and look in the "Adjustments and Maintenance" section of this manual Make sure the free play of the brake pedal is not excessive (2).
Check the brake pedal position. If you do not find it correct, have it adjusted at a specialised workshop. Check the operation of the lever and pedal. They must move smoothly and when applying the brakes the sensation must be of firm grip in both of them. Otherwise, have a specialised workshop inspect you vehicle.
Brake liquid level
Check the brake liquid level. Add liquid if necessary. (See "Maintenance" section of the manual)
Recommended liquid D.O.T. 3 o D.O.T. 4
