Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, movement of the
throttle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the machine by varying
the throttle position. Because the throttle is
spring-loaded, the machine will decelerate, and
the engine will return to an idle any time the
hand is removed from the throttle lever.
Before starting the engine, check the throttle to
be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it
returns to the idle position as soon as the lever
is released.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Malfunction of throttle.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The throttle could be hard to operate,
making it difficult to speed up or slow down
when you need to. This could cause an
accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Check the operation of the throttle lever
before you start the engine. If it does not
work smoothly, check for the cause.
Correct the problem before riding the ATV.

Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in the life
of your machine than the period between zero
and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully read
the following material. Because the engine is
brand new, you must not put an excessive load
on it for the first 20 hours, the various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might result in
excessive engine heating must be avoided.
However, momentary (2~3 seconds maximum)
full throttle operation under load does not harm
the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence should
be followed with a substantial rest period for the
engine by cruising at lower r/min so the engine
can rid itself of the temporary build up of heat.
If any abnormality is noticed during this period,
consult a KYMCO dealer.
1. 0~10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half
throttle. Allow a cooling off period of five to
ten minutes after every hour of operation.
Vary the speed of the machine from time to
time. Do not operate it at full throttle position.
51
Page 62
2. 10~20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4 throttle.
Rev the machine freely through the gears but
do not use full throttle at any time.
3. After break-in
Avoid prolonged full throttle operation. Vary
speeds occasionally.
Parking
When parking, stop the engine and shift into
neutral. Turn the fuel lock to "OFF" and apply the
parking brake.

to test all non-KYMCO accessories, nor have
any control over the quality or suitability of
them. Choose a genuine KYMCO accessory,
or one that is equivalent in design and quality.
Accessories should be rigidly and securely
mounted. An accessory which can shift
position or come off while you are riding could
affect your ability to control the ATV.
Do not mount an accessory where it could
interfere with your ability your to control the
ATV. Examples include (but are not limited to)
a heavy or bulky object attached to the
handlebars which could make steering
difficult, an accessory that limits your ability to
move around on the seat, or one that limits
your view.
Use extra caution when riding an ATV with
accessories. The ATV may handle differently

The exhaust on the machine is very hot during
and following operation. To prevent burns, avoid
touching the exhaust system. Park the machine
in a place where pedestrians or children are not
likely to touch it.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Hot exhaust system
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Someone touching the exhaust system
during or after operation could be burned.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Page 83
Select a flat area to become familiar with your
ATV. Make sure that this area is free of
obstacles and other riders. You should practice
control of the throttle, brakes, shifting before
trying more difficult terrain.
Always avoid riding on rough surfaces: the ATV
is designed for on-road use only, and handling
maneuvers are more difficult to perform on
rough surfaces
.
With the engine idling, return the starter knob to
the closed position and shift the drive select
lever into the forward position. Then release the
parking brake. Apply the throttle slowly and you
will start to accelerate. If the throttle is applied
too abruptly, the front wheels may lift off the
ground resulting in a loss of directional control.
Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly
familiar with the operation of your ATV.
Set the parking brake and follow the instruction
on page 44~48 to start the engine. Once it has
warmed up you are ready to begin riding your
ATV. Remember that the engine and exhaust
pipe will be hot when riding and afterwards; do
not allow skin or clothing to come in contact with
these components.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. Improper use of the brakes can cause
the tires to lose traction, reducing control and
increasing the possibility of an accident.
73
Page 84
TURNING YOUR ATV
To achieve maximum traction while riding onroad, the two rear wheels are mounted solidly
on one axle and turn together at the same
speed. Therefore, unless the wheel on the
inside of the turn is allowed to slip or lose some
traction, the ATV will resist turning. A special
turning technique must be used to allow the ATV
to make turns quickly and easily. It is essential
that this skill be learned first at low speed.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in this Owner's
Manual.
Practice turning at low speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not
turn at speeds too fast for your skills or the
conditions.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Turning improperly
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
ATV could go out of control, causing a
collision or overturn.
As you approach a curve, slow down and begin
to turn the handlebars in the desired direction.
As you do so, put your weight on the footboard
to the outside of the turn (opposite your desired
direction) and lean your upper body into the
turn. Use the throttle to maintain an even speed
through the turn. This maneuver will let the
wheel on the inside of the turn slip slightly,
allowing the ATV to make the turn properly.
74
Page 85
Lean towards
inside of turn .
Support your
weight on the
outer footboard
This procedure should be practiced at slow
speed many times in a large paved area with no
obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used, your
ATV may continue to go straight. If the ATV
doesn't turn, come to a stop and then practice
the procedure again. If the riding surface is
slippery or loose, it may help to position more of
your weight over the front wheels by moving
forward on the seat.
Once you have learned this technique you
should be able to perform it at higher speeds or
in tighter curves.
Improper riding procedures such as abrupt
throttle changes, or too much speed for the
sharpness of the turn may cause the ATV to tip. If
may also be necessary to the outside of the turn
to avoid tipping over.
Remember: Avoid higher speeds until you are
thoroughly familiar with the operation of your
ATV.
75
Page 86
CLIMBING UP SLOPE
Use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle
overturns on slopes. Be sure that you can
maneuver your ATV well on flat ground before
attempting any incline and then practice riding
first on gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs
only after you have developed your skill. In all
cases avoid inclines with slippery or loose
surfaces, or obstacles that might cause you to
lose control.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep slopes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on
extremely steep slopes than on level
surfaces or small slopes.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the ATV on slopes too steep
for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller slopes before
attempting large slopes.
It is important when climbing a slope to make
sure that tour weight is transferred forward on
the ATV. This can be accomplished by leaning
forward, steeper inclines and standing on the
footboards and leaning forward over the
handlebars.
76
Page 87
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Climbing slopes improperly
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
climbing slopes as described in this
Owner's Manual.
Always check the terrain carefully before
you start up any slope.
Never climb slopels with excessively
slippery or loose surfaces.
Shift your weight forward.
Never open the throttle suddenly.
The ATV could flip over backwards.
Never go over the top of any slope at high
speed.
An obstacle or a sharp drop could be on the
other side of the slope.
77
Page 88
If you are climbing a slope and you find that you
have not properly judged your ability to make it
to the top, you should turn the ATV around while
you still have forward motion (provided you have
the room to do so) and go down the slope.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly crossing slopes or turning on
slopes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never attempt to turn the ATV around on
any slope until you have mastered the
turning technique as described in the
Owner's Manual on level ground. Be very
careful when turning on any slope.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep slope if
possible.
When crossing the side of a slope:
Always follow proper procedures as
described in the Owner's Manual.
Avoid slopes with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces.
Shift your weight to the up of slope side of
the ATV.
OK
78
Page 89
If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you
believe you can continue up the slope, restart
carefully to make sure you do not lift the front
wheels which could cause you to lose control. If
you are unable to continue up the slope,
dismount the ATV on up slope side. Physically
turn the ATV around and then descend the
slope.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly
dismounting while climbing a slope.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could result in ATV overturning.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT use the
rear brake to stop. The ATV could easily tip over
backwards. Instead, dismount the ATV
immediately on the up of slope side.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Maintain steady speed when climbing a
slope.
If you lose all forward speed:
Keep weight up slope.
Apply the brakes.
Lock parking brake, after you are stopped.
If you begin rolling backwards:
Keep weight up slope.
Never apply the rear brake while rolling
backwards.
79
Page 90
Apply the front brake.
When fully stopped, apply rear brake as
well, and then lock parking brake.
Dismount on up slope side or to a side if
pointed straight up slope. Turn the ATV
around and remount, following the
procedure described in the Owner's
Manual.
80
Page 91
RIDING DOWN SLOPE
When riding your ATV down slope, shift your
weight as far to the rear and up slope side of the
ATV as possible. Move back on the seat and sit
with your arms straight. Improper braking may
cause a loss of traction.
Use caution while descending a slope with loose
or slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction
may be adversely affected by these surfaces.
Improper braking may also cause a loss of
traction. Whenever possible, ride your ATV
straight down slope. Avoid sharp angles which
could allow the ATV to tip or roll over. Carefully
choose your path and ride no faster than you will
be able to react to obstacles which may appear.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a slope improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for going
down slopes as described in this Owner's
Manual. Note: a special technique is
required when braking as you go down a
slope.
Always check the terrain carefully before
you start down any slope.
Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a slope at high speed.
Avoid going down a slope at an angle that
would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to
one side. Go straight down the slope where
possible.

only. Be sure to read each section on riding
techniques completely.
WHAT TO DO....
If your ATV doesn't turn when you want it to:
Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the turning
maneuvers again. Be sure you are putting your
weight on the footboard to the outside of the
turn. Position your weight over the front wheels
for better control. (See pages 74~75.)
If your ATV begins to tip while turning:
Lean more into the turn to regain balance. If
necessary, gradually let off the throttle and /or
steer to the outside of the turn. (See pages
74~75.)
If your ATV can't make it up a slope you are
trying to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have forward
speed. If not, stop, dismount on the up slope
side of the ATV and physically turn the ATV
around. If the ATV starts to slip backwards DO
NOT USE THE REAR BRAKE - the ATV may tip
over on top of you. Dismount the ATV on the up
slope side. (See pages 76~80.)
