Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures described.
Never operate an ATV without proper training or instruction.
Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor.

(1) Fuel neck
Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED FUEL
Fuel tank capacity:
Total: 16 L(3.36 lmp gal, 4.16 US gal) Reserve : 2.3 L(0.48 lmp gal, 0.6 US gal)
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.
53
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.
DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS
Check the rubber drive shaft boots for damage or leaking grease. If necessary, have your KYMCO dealer replace them.
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.
Do not refuel right after the engine has been running and is still very hot.

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.
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.
