SAFETY INFORMATION
EBU26686AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARD-OUS TO OPERATE.An ATV handles differently from other vehicles, in-
cluding motorcycles and cars. A collision or roll-
over can occur quickly, even during routine

tions.

ate an ATV with engine size greater than 90 cc. 

that is proper for the terrain, visibility, operating
conditions, and your experience.

make sure it is in safe operating condition. Al-
ways follow the inspection and maintenance
procedures and schedules described in this

ticed the skills necessary to control the ATV on

in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before
you start down any hill. Shift your weight back-
ward. 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
