SAFETY INFORMATION
		1

EBU17651

AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles differently from other vehicles, including motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers such as turning and riding on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.

SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:

●Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures described.

●Never operate an ATV without proper training or instruction.

●Always follow the age recommendation:

–A child under 6 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 50 cc.

–A child under 12 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 70 cc.

–A child under 16 years old should never oper-

ate an ATV with engine size greater than 90 cc.

●Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an ATV without adult supervision, and never allow continued use of an ATV by a child if he or she does not have the abilities to operate it safely.

●Never carry a passenger on an ATV.

●Always avoid operating an ATV on any paved surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and paved streets.

●Never operate an ATV on any paved street, paved road or motorway.

●Watch carefully for other vehicles when operating on unpaved public streets or roads. Make sure you know your country’s laws and regulations before you ride on unpaved public streets or roads.

●Never operate an ATV without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly. You should also wear eye protection (goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, a long-sleeved shirt or a jacket, and long pants.

1-1

● Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this ATV.

1 ● Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills or the riding conditions. Always go at a speed that is proper for the terrain, visibility, operating conditions, and your experience.

●Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.

●Always inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this manual.

●Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests of the ATV during operation.

●Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating the ATV.

●Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and practiced the skills necessary to control the ATV on such terrain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of terrain.

●Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this manual. Practice turning at low

speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds and never turn at excessive speeds.

●Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities. Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.

●Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of a hill at high speed.

●Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where possible.

●Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in this manual. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you have mastered the turning tech-

1-2

nique described in this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible.

●Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual. Dismount on the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in this manual.

●Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.

●Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.

●Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.

●Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that recommended in this manual. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after

leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the linings.

● Always use the size and type of tires specified in 1 this manual.

●Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.

●Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories.

●Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.

TEACHING YOUR CHILD TO OPERATE THE ATV

EWB00080

WARNING

Never let your child ride an ATV without close adult supervision (a child under 6 should not ride this ATV even with adult supervision).

Promptly correct your child if he or she begins to ride beyond his or her abilities and, if necessary, intervene by pulling the cord (lanyard) to stop the engine.

If the child rides beyond his or her abilities, or

1-3

rides in terrain that is too difficult, he or she may lose control of the ATV, causing an acci-

1dent.

Introduce new riding areas slowly and make sure the riding area matches your child’s skill level.

You must make the commitment to your child’s proper use of the ATV. Your child must rely upon you to be sure he or she has the development, proper training, and proper equipment, as well as an appropriately sized ATV and an appropriate riding area.

Be sure your child is ready to learn how to ride

As a parent, your first step is to decide when your child has the strength, skills, and judgment to learn how to operate an ATV safely. Re-evaluate your child’s readiness before every use; a child who is too tired or distracted should not be allowed to operate the ATV.

Be sure your child is properly trained

Your child should take a certified training course. Training will continue with you as the instructor, so you should be sure you thoroughly understand proper riding techniques before continuing to in-

struct your child. Go through this Owner’s Manual page by page with your child and be sure he or she understands how to operate the ATV properly.

Be sure your child is wearing all the proper safety equipment

Your child must always wear an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly. Your child should also wear the safety equipment described in the Riding Your ATV section of this manual.

Choose an appropriate riding area

Select an area appropriate for your child to learn to ride. (See page 7-8.) Follow the instructions in the Riding Your ATV section of this manual. Choose a large, flat, unpaved road or area that is free of obstacles and away from other vehicles.

Supervise every use of the ATV

Because an adult must supervise every ATV operator under age 16, you should closely watch your child every time he or she uses the ATV. Be ready to intervene immediately if the child is not operating according to your guidelines. This ATV is fitted with an engine stop switch cord (lanyard) device that will let you stop the engine remotely as you walk behind the vehicle.

1-4

ENGINE STOP SWITCH CORD

This model has an engine stop switch cord (lanyard) designed for use by an adult supervising the child operating the ATV. When using the engine stop switch cord, be sure the speed limiter on the handlebar is adjusted to limit the ATV to a walking speed. (See page 4-5.)

1.Push the clip on the end of the engine stop switch cord under the engine shut-off switch (black button).

2.Put your fingers in the loop at the other end of the cord.

3.As your child is riding, walk behind the ATV, closely watching his or her actions as well as the path ahead.

4.If there is a potential hazard ahead or if your child is not riding correctly, pull firmly on the cord (lanyard) to stop the engine. Because the ATV will continue to roll for some distance, allow extra time and distance to pull the cord before a potentially hazardous situation might be encountered.

When your child has developed sufficient skill to no longer need you to follow with the cord, the cord can be stowed under the seat of the ATV. However, you must still closely supervise your child at all

times during ATV operation.

NOTE:		1

The ATV will not start without the clip in place. Be sure to remove the cord and store it in a safe place to prevent operation of the ATV when you are not around to supervise.

EWB00061

WARNING

●Always turn off the engine when refueling.

●Do not refuel right after the engine has been running and is still very hot.

●Do not spill gasoline on the engine or exhaust pipe/muffler when refueling. Never refuel while smoking, or in the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition such as the pilot lights of water heaters and clothes dryers. Gasoline can catch fire and you could be burned.

●When transporting the ATV in another vehicle, be sure it is kept upright and that the fuel cock is in the “OFF” position. Otherwise, fuel may leak out of the carburetor or fuel tank.

●Gasoline is poisonous. If you should swallow some gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes,
