8Always set the parking brake before start-
ing the engine. The ATV could start mov-
ing unexpectedly if the parking brake is
not applied. This could cause loss of con-
trol or a collision.
8Always be sure you have released the
parking brake before you begin to ride. The
brake could overheat if you ride the ATV
without releasing the parking brake. You
could lose braking performance which
could cause an accident. You could also
wear out the brakes prematurely.

NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20-40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated
more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time the air filter
element maintenance is performed, check the
air inlet to the filter case for obstructions. Check
the air filter case rubber joint to the carburetor
and manifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tighten
all fittings securely to avoid the possibility of
unfiltered air entering the engine.
cC
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, opera-
tion without the air filter element will affect
carburetor jetting with subsequent poor per-
formance and possible engine overheating.
