Recommended fuel:

UNLEADED FUEL

Fuel tank capacity:

Total: 5.5L(1.16 lmp gal, 1.4 US gal)
Reserve: 1.5L(0.32 lmp gal, 0.38 US gal)

42

Your KYMCO engine has been designed to use
regular unleaded gasoline with a pump octane
number of 86 or higher, or research octane
number of 91 or higher. If knocking or pinging
occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or
premium unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel will give
you longer spark plug life and reduced
maintenance cost.

Use unleaded fuel only because it produces
fewer engine and spark plug deposits and
extends the life of the exhaust system. Never
use stale or contaminated gasoline or an
oil/gasoline mixture.

Avoid getting dirt, dust or water in the fuel tank.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improper care when refueling.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel can spill, which can cause a fire and

severe injury.
Fuel expands when it heats up. If the fuel

tank is overfilled, fuel could spill out due to
heat from the engine.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Be careful not

to spill fuel, especially on the engine or
exhaust pipe. Wipe up any spilled fuel
immediately. Be sure the fuel tank cap is
closed securely.

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.

54

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.

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.

74

RIDING

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 level
surfaces.

Set the parking brake and follow the instruction
on page 50~54 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.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Starting or running the engine in a closed

area.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Exhaust fumes are poisonous and may

cause loss of consciousness and death
within a short time.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always operate your machine in an area

with adequate ventilation.

Practice with the remote engine stop switch and
throttle limiter adjusted as delivered until you
are confident in braking and making turns.

75

Remote engine stop switch for new riders

The ATV has a remote engine stop switch (page

28). This allows the supervisor to follow close
behind and stop the engine by pulling a tethered
core. Practice using it when the beginner first
starts riding.

Pull the tether after the ATV is moving. The ATV
may continue to roll for some distance. Watch
the distance until the ATV stops. Be aware that
this distance must be included in the stopping
space of the ATV and that this distance may
increase with speed.

BRAKING

Practice starting and stopping at slow speeds.
Gradually work up to faster starts and stops.

1. Steer straight ahead. Close the throttle
completely, remove your thumb from the
throttle lever.

2. Gently apply the brakes: pull both hand
levers.

Gradually increase the lever or/and pedal
pressure as you feel the brakes slowing your
speed. The pressure used depends on your
speed and the condition of the terrain you are
riding. Slick , slippery or muddy ground requires
gentler braking.

Pulling one or both brake levers or/and
depressing brake pedal too hard may cause the
front and/or rear wheels to skid or slide out of
control. If this happens, release all pressure on
the lever(s) immediately. Steer straight ahead to
regain control. Then gently reapply the brakes.

Independent use of only the front or rear brakes
reduces stopping performance. Extreme braking
may cause the wheels to lock, reducing control
of the ATV

When possible, reduce speed or brake before
entering a turn. Closing the throttle or braking in
mid-turn may cause wheel slippage which will
reduce control of your ATV.

78

TURNING YOUR ATV

To achieve maximum traction while riding on-road, 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.

When approaching a corner or turn, close the throttle fully, and slow the ATV down by applying both
front and rear brakes at the same time.

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.
After completing the turn, open the throttle
Gradually to accelerate the ATV.

Lean towards

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Turning improperly

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
ATV could go out of control, causing a

collision or overturn.

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.

Do not turn at excessive speeds.

WARNING

79

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.

80

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.

81

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

82

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.

83

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.

84

If the slope is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be able to walk the ATV back down
the . Make sure your intended path is clear in case you lose control of the ATV . If you decide

slope

you can walk the ATV safely:

1. Stand with your body facing downs , beside the vehicle so you can reach the front brake lever

with your left hand.

2. Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels.

3. Check your footing.

4. Then slowly and carefully back theATV down the using the front brake lever to control

speed.

5. If you lose control of the ATV, for your safety, get away from the vehicle,

If the is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether you can safely walk the ATV

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.

86

PARKING

Always choose a level place to park. After
bringing your ATV to a stop, hold the brakes.
Then set the parking brake and turn the ignition
switch OFF. If you're through riding for the day,
also turn the fuel valve OFF.

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 79.)

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 theATV
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 80~85.)
