Your KYMCO engine has been designed to use
regular unl eaded gasolin e with a pump octane
number of 86 or h igher, or research octane
number of 91 or h igher. If knocking or pinging
occurs, use a d ifferent bra nd of gasoline or
premium unl eaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give
you longer sp ark plug life and reduced
maintenan ce cost.
Use unleade d fuel only becau se it produces
fewer engin e and spark plug de posits and
extends the life of the ex haust system. N ever
use stale or contaminated gasoline or a n
oil/gasol ine mixture.
Avoid gett ing dirt, dust or water in the f uel tank.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improper care when ref ueling.
WHAT CAN HAPP EN
Fuel can spill, which can cause a fir e and
severe injury.
Fuel expands when it heats up. If the f uel
tank is overfilled, fuel could sp ill out due t o
heat from the engine.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Be car eful not
to spill fuel, especially on the engine or

installation or use of accessories. All parts
and accessories adde d to this vehicle
should be genuine KYMCO or equiva lent
components designed for use on th is ATV
and should be installed and used ac cording
to instruction. If you have quest ion, consult
an authorized ATV dealer.
No Modifications
Modifying this ATV or removing original
equipment m ay render the vehicle unsafe or
illegal. Sp ark arresters and mufflers ar e
required in m ost areas. Don't modify yo ur
exhaust sys tem or emission control system
component s. Remember, excessive noise
bothers eve ryone and creates a bad image for

71
RIDING
Select a flat area to become familiar wit h your
ATV. Make sure that this area is free of
obstacles a nd other riders. You should practice
control of the throttl e, brakes, shif ting before
trying more d ifficult ter rain.
Always avoi d riding on rough s urfaces: the ATV
is designed f or on-road use on ly, and handlin g
maneuvers a re more diffic ult to perform on l evel
surfaces.
Set the parki ng brake and follow the instruction
on page 50~54 t o start the engine. Once it ha s
warmed up you a re ready to begin r iding your
ATV. Remember that the engine and exhaust
pipe will be ho t when riding and a fterwards; do
not allow ski n or clothing to come in conta ct with
these compo nents.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Starting or running the engine in a closed
area.
WHAT CAN HAPP EN
Exhaust fumes are pois onous and m ay
cause loss of consciousness and d eath

BRAKING
Practice starting and stopping at slo w speeds.
Gradually w ork up to faster starts and st ops.
1. Steer straight ahea d. Close the thro ttle
completel y, remove your th umb from the
throttle lever.
2. Gently apply the brakes: pull both han d
levers.
Gradually i ncrease the lever or/and pedal
pressure as y ou feel the brakes slowing y our
speed. The p ressure used de pends on your
speed and the c ondition of the terrain yo u are
riding. Sli ck , slippery or muddy ground requires
gentler bra king.
Pulling one o r both brake leve rs or/and
depressin g brake pedal too h ard may cause the
front and/or rear whee ls to skid or slide o ut of
control. If this happens, release all p ressure on
the lever(s ) immediately. Steer str aight ahead to
regain cont rol. Then gent ly reapply the brakes.
Independe nt use of only the front or rear b rakes
reduces stopping performance. Ext reme braking
may cause the wheels to lock, reducing co ntrol
of the ATV
When possib le, reduce speed or brake before
entering a turn. Closing the throttle o r braking in
mid-turn ma y cause wheel slippage which will
reduce cont rol of your ATV.
78
CLIMBING UP SLOPE
Use proper ri ding techniques to avoid vehicle
overturns o n slopes. Be sure that you can
maneuver yo ur ATV well on flat gr ound before
attempting any incline and then pract ice riding
first on gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs
only after you have developed your skil l. In all
cases avoid i nclines with sl ippery or loose
surfaces, or obstacles that might cau se you to
lose contro l.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessi vely steep slopes.
WHAT CAN HAPP EN
The vehicle can overtu rn more easily on
extremely s teep slop es than on level
surfaces or small slop es.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the ATV on slo pes too steep
for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller sl opes before
attempting large slo pes.
It is important when cli mbing a slope to ma ke
sure that tour weight is transferred fo rward on
the ATV. This can be a ccomplished b y leaning
forward, steeper inclines and stand ing on the
footboards and leaning forward over the
handlebar s.
80
If your ATV has stall ed or stopped and y ou
believe you c an continue up the slope, restart
carefully to make sure you do not lift the fr ont
wheels whic h could cause you t o lose control. If
you are unabl e to continue up the slope,
dismount th e ATV on up slope side . Physically
turn the ATV aro und and then desc end the
slope.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards o r imprope rly
dismounting while climbing a slope.
WHAT CAN HAPP EN
Could result in ATV overturning.
If you start to roll backw ards, DO NOT use t he
rear brake to s top. The ATV could easily ti p over
backwards . Instead, dismount the ATV
immediate ly on the up of slope side.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Maintain steady spee d when clim bing a
slope.
If you lose all forward speed:
Keep weight up slope.
Apply the brakes.
Lock parking brake, af ter you are stopped.
If you begin rolling backwards:
Keep weight up slope.
Never apply the rear bra ke while rolling
backwards.
83
RIDING DOWN SLOPE
When riding y our ATV down s lope, shift your
weight as far to the rear an d up slope side of th e
ATV as possib le. Move back on th e seat and sit
with your arm s straight. Improper bra king may
cause a loss of t raction.
Use caution w hile descendi ng a slope with loose
or slippery surfaces. Braking abili ty and traction
may be advers ely affected b y these surfaces.
Improper br aking may also ca use a loss of
traction. Whenever possible, ride y our ATV
straight down slope. Avoid s harp angles whi ch
could allow t he ATV to tip or roll over. Carefully
choose your p ath and ride no faster than yo u will
be able to reac t to obstacles which may appear.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going d own a slope i mproperly.
WHAT CAN HAPP EN
Could cause loss of control or caus e the
ATV to overtu rn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedur es for going
